I recently got an invite to come sample Trump Steaks, which I respectfully declined (by never RSVP-ing). Now, I’ve been asked to attend an event promoting Trump Office, "a collection of executive chairs designed exclusively for Staples by the Trump brand." (Technically, I’ve not RSVP’d yet, but I think the headline should take care of that, no?)Why must the Donald keep branding? And why must publicists keep thinking I’ll care?If you’ve ever bought something Trump, admit it below. I won’t judge. I just want proof that you exist.

Trumpy you can do stupid things!
If Trump brands anything is has to be toupees. “Now you too can have that hair!”
There’s an old board game called Trump that is somewhat Monopoly-ish. We own it.
I’ve never bought anything, but my favorite of his branding ventures has to be his water, “Trump Ice”…which i’m guessing was extracted from the very most pompous natural springs. Oh, totaste that refreshing, Trumpy goodness. (ok, maybe not)
I have stayed at Trump Hotel in Atlantic City and took numerous Trump Ice water bottles home for gifts.
I cannot imagine myself buying anything he would sell. I am sure there are thousands of folks out there who love this clown and would buy anything he puts on the market.
If Trump would get hair placement, it would be a big boom for him:”If I can grow good looking hair, no reason why you can’t. Buy my follicle miracle restorer at the finest hair salons. Look for “Hair Here, There, and Everywhere.” Guaranteed!”
Mandi, you sound smart.
He’s a desparate man. His kingdom is falling apart, he has no TV outlet (right now), so he’s grabbing at anything.
Hrm, I didn’t even KNOW there was a “Trump” brand of things consumable I could buy, not that I care either. Can’t say there is anything that would prompt to purchase anything in his lice as well.
Is there really a “Trump Steaks”? Is the meat from cows that have really bad hair-dos????
A friend of mine tried the Trump vodka. Said it tasted like sewer water. I personally have vowed to not give The Donald any of my money…
I’ll confess that I rec’d as a GIFT (I did not buy it myself) a Trump dress shirt and tie. I acutally rather like them.
I too own the Trump game. I got it as a gift when I was a teenager. It hasn’t been played in years as the rules were never very clear. Stick with Monopoly.
The TRUMP boardgame always seemed interesting to me. But other than that I would never waste money on a TRUMP chair or TRUMP steaks. Why would you?
Thank You Mandy!!! I was wondering who buys a steak or anything else just because it has his name on it? He has enough money he doesnt need mine!
Hilarious, Mandi! I received a “personal invitation” (yeah right) to hear Jr. Trump speak in my city. I used it to help start a fire in my fireplace…
But the publicists’ plan worked! You have now given them PR by mentioning these products on the EW site!
I just want to say hooray to Mandi for being a super-trooper and taking care of the PopWatch today!
My husband does have a Trump button down shirt, but only because it was $14 at Macy’s – right next to the Sean Johns.
He’s so repulsive in all ways. Do you really think his wife sleeps with him???
Please take the picture down, it’s scaring me
I bought a tie. I didn’t know it was a Trump brand until later when someone made fun of me. I just thought it went well with some shirts I had for work. I shower one more time per day when I wear it.
I saw a guy on plane with a Trump watch. He was one of those ‘fake busy’ people who open and close their laptop about 800 times, pretend to read the plane magazine, thumb thru their blackberry constantly and call 9 people and only leave messages because no one picks up.. I wanted to be like “dude, spend the $150 on a nose hair trimmer”
I watched an episode of The Apprentice once…so I guess I ‘bought’ part of his television scheme…but I brushed my teeth and gargled with Scope soon afterward…icky icky poo taste…
My friend has a Donald Trump tie that was purchased at Sym’s. It’s 100% silk and really quite nice.
Coach’s Mistress: speaking of “sleeping with”, care to explain your screen name?
Someone really needs to tell him that the Peppermint Patty comb front is getting tiresome.
I bought a TRUMP wallet….I just needed something cheap and not worn out like my old one. Sadly, I’m filled with disgust everytime I open my wallet and see “DONALD J. TRUMP” imprinted onto the back (something I didn’t noticed until AFTER I bought it).
Trump self-esteem pills. Everyone else will think you’re an a**, but you’ll remain oblivious.
This sounds as bad as his reality show.
Good job on some awesome PopWatch reporting & topics today, Mandi! It kept me entertained all day long.
A friend of mine gave me an example of the Trump vodka. Might be good for cleaning out a scrape or cut, but definitely not for drinking.
We purchased an Apprentice desk caddy. It’s actually quite useful for my wife, who works from home. She loves it!
