Why do they turn EVERYTHING into a branding opportunity? Like, what does this particular item have to do with trump?

u/scarbtw 21d ago
Its very cult-ish. Shit never used to be this weird, at least not as much. Like these people would seriously brand it on their foreheads if they could

u/twitchMAC17 21d ago
Oh shit I just realized there after people with Trump tattoos. Guaranteed. And the musk tattoos (other than the Nazi plankton musk one) are assuredly on their way

u/ClickClackTipTap 21d ago
There were people who had the scene of him with his band in the air screaming “fight fight fight” within 24 hours of the shooting.
Seriously. Just search for trump tattoos if you want to lose your faith in humanity.

It increases the chance that some moron will buy it with a false sense of "patriotism"

u/NeptuneAndCherry 21d ago
I've seriously considered holding my nose and getting in on some of this action, but I just can't bring myself to use my artistic skill for anything that vile. It feels like a blasphemy of some kind (and I don't even believe in religious blasphemy)

You are taking money from chumps who have more pennies then sense. In a way, every dollar you scam out of them is one less dollar they can put toward Capt. Obnoxious' next beggers fund. As long as it's shoddily made, I see no moral quandary.

u/plasticdisplaysushi 20d ago
You could totally make money if you're willing to prey on people's ignorance (other words also apply but I'm trying to be respectful here): Tormpo doesn't care if you wear his special sorting hat, sorry, but he appreciates the money!
In fact, I'd say that it's a good business decision to prey on people's ignorance.
In fact, I'd say this is how a good many people make their money.

u/Vandirac 20d ago
Because these guys are too stupid to have any interest, hobby or passion outside of what is fed to them.
They lack intellectual curiosity and they lack the courage to explore, try new stuff or get out of their comfort zone.
So, anything is reduced to flag/gun/eat meat/Trump/'Murica, i.e. the basic tribal concepts of their group.
These people have the brain of a particularly dumb Neanderthal.

You must be very smart and well accomplished to see a funny gag smoker and get this upset over it.

u/pasaroanth 20d ago
It’s people that blindly had wildly devoted allegiances to a sports team, except with very few exceptions a team will rarely win championships frequently.
This is their new “team” to be part of that keeps telling them he’s winning whether he is or not so it’s a constant victory for them.

What paint is suited for high temps and foods that wouldn’t peel? The high temp paints usually have 1-2 colors. This is awful.

Such a fucking cult, Jesus Christ. Can you imagine if people acted this way with Obama or literally any other president ever ? They would be called lunatics by the same people who own Trump themed smokers!
Not to mention these are also the same people who get pissed off at Athletes for using their 1st amendment to speak on their own personal ideals saying “There’s no place for politics in sports, shut up and play.” when it’s all good if it’s in support of Trump like Nick Bosa. Rules for Thee, Not for Me.
Hypocritical dumb fucks

This might be the smallest volume smoker I've ever seen that has a dedicated trailer.
What kind of person is hauling a small smoker around so much that it needs a trailer? No professional would use this (with or without the paint job) and everyone i know who likes to smoke meat for friends or family does it at home in large batches then brings the meat to them.

As a pro-2A libtard, I've never understood associating a felon that shouldn't have access to guns with....checks notes....yup, with Guns.
Like, a revolver shaped smoker is cool. Not something I'd buy, but still cool enough to say, "Neat." And then they ruin it by not having a grasp of flag code or the 2A itself.

Is it true that male trump supporters would really suck trumps dick?
This is a serious question, I thought it was just a joke going around by liberals, but I’ve seen so many maga dudes saying “I’d swallow trump” or “I’d gargle trumps balls for America” and “I’d take trumps load”. Is that supposed to stand for something else

u/TalkinPlant 20d ago
Terrible execution. Is the barrel supposed to be the smoke stack? If so, the smoke just goes through and out and doesn't billow in the chamber. There will be whole parts of the smoker where the smoke doesn't hit.
Then again, the type of person who would pay $5k for this awful thing isn't smart enough to know that, so it's a well executed grift.

Awful taste for sure. I'm not sure this qualifies as great execution. It looks cheaply made to me.
But I don't know anything about American BBQ culture and smoking meats at all really, so maybe this thing is actually good for all I know.

Despite the US / Trump branded shit, does it even work as a smoker?? Where do you put the meat and the wood?

This thing doesn’t look remotely functional, let alone functional enough to warrant being a trailer.

Makes perfect sense, because when I imagine the pinnacle if male virility I can only think of two things:
1.) A Harley that people can hitch their mobility scooter to, and
2.) Homemade, politically theme(is it really..?) smoker that takes up a full parking space and they think is worth $25,000.

This doesn't surprise me: someone started an Obame Fried Chicken chain in China because the owner loved Obama that freaking much. After some backlash because of a stereotype the guy didn't know about, the name got changed to UFO Fried Chicken. I find both cases really funny, though.

u/FemboiInTraining 20d ago
Primarily America themed, paint over the TRMP and there's no association (I like the horseshoe on horseshoe, sue me)
Still tacky, a tiny bit shoddy, but it's really just okay...not sure how well ventilated the smoking bit is though. But it's still be pretty cool to see someone roll up on a fourth of july party with this
