Is the "devil in the details..."?

Or are details like this just pedantic, tired, and not really representative of the candidate as a whole?

I can see both positions. Personally, I think it is details JUST like this that tell you about priorities.

Yes Trump is willing to "get his hats made for cheaper to save his supporters some cash" (whether his hats are ACTUALLY cheaper, i may just take a look.) Ultimately, Joe's hats employ Americans and contribute to the US economy while Trump's hats....don't.


Part of me feels that if you don't let details like this inform your opinion of people, your discernment is too shallow.




Oh, if it's interesting:
OFFICIAL Trump MAGA hat from the store: $50
The SAME Joe hat as the picture, I could only find at Walmart for 23$
And a comparable hat on Joe's
A typcial hat on Joe's Fundraising website? $32


LOL.
MAGA supporters....you guys know this right?

Oh man....what an interesting topic to explore....There are people selling "OFFICIAL TRUMP 2024 MAGA HATS: California Edition" on ebay for 133$.

Man..it's just all grifters. I saw an interview on the Daily Show a couple years ago where they interviewed a couple of black clothing merchants who sold MAGA stuff. They said it was all dumb and they disagreed with it but they could sell a sweater for 150$ so why not?
Well, a capitalist would argue "that's what the market can withstand...."

Make America great by buying Chinese goods!
While I wouldn't hang my hat on (sorry not sorry) something as trivial as this like this, if that's what it takes for somebody to realize that Trump is full of it, then so be it.

Well, a) Thanks for the pun..... and b) There have been a LOT of details. This ONE is quite trivial but some details were less so.

that's because they must include an extra tag saying: "contents of this item are known to the state of California to cause cancer"

Just to clarify, your argument is that receiving that designation increases the cost of the hat approximately $80?

When did Twitter become a reliable source of information? Have you considered that the Trump hat is a knock-off?


"CLAIM: Trump’s “Make America Great Again” caps are made in China, not the U.S.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The hats are made by a manufacturer in California."

"Brian Kennedy, president of Cali Fame of Los Angeles, a California-based company that makes the official hats, confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the hats are produced entirely in Carson, Calif.

Some third-party retailers carry knock-off MAGA caps that are made in China and are labeled as such. Trump’s official campaign store website states that “All of our products are 100% proudly made in the USA.”"


To quote Joe Biden, "c'mon, man".

It doesn't hiked the prices. I can get a regular hat cheaper than 20 dollars and I live in CA.

Trump's stuff used to be made abroad until 2015 or thereabouts.
