"Tacky" is such a mild word for this... mess.

Maybe Abe Lincoln's family missed an opportunity when they didn't think to sell gilded statuettes depicting his assassination. And the Kennedys could have made a bundle selling little gold convertibles (maybe with wheels that really turned!) with JFK slumped in the back seat and Jackie climbing over him. Ford and Reagan had near-miss assassination attempts, too. How foolish of them not to have tried to make a buck selling commemorative tchotchkes to adoring fans.

A genuine bronze painted piece of plastic for $60.00 that proves God protected
Donny although that same God let another man have his head blown off. And no
doubt it was made in China and you can pay now and it will be shipped to you at
sometime in the future.

Odd they never ask why God let Trump get shot.
Or why God put that shooter on place to take that shot.

Seems to me if he gets credit for one he should get credit for the other.

Chachkis for future archeologists seeking t understand an advanced culture whose written records were lost; scattered like so many free electrons. Unrecoverable.

but did anyone brave/foolhardy enough to watch it see if he is selling pieces of his (bloody) jacket?

(I predicted he would do that within a day of the assassination attempt - and this would be the perfect opportunity.)

...that if God was really interested in protecting Donald Trump that day he would have given the shooter a flat tire or empty gas tank, miracled the gunpowder out of the ammunition the guy used to shoot at Trump, or done SOMETHING to keep the shooting from happening in the first place.
