The RNC Tried to Sell a Trump Leash for National Puppy Day—It Didn't Go Well

The RNC Tried to Sell a Trump Leash for National Puppy Day—It Didn't Go Well
DonaldjTrump.com

Friday, March 23, was National Puppy Day, a holiday beloved by all people of the world and, for that matter, all puppies. The Republican National Committee tried to cash in on people's celebration with a truly unique sales opportunity: Donald Trump dog leashes.


The tweet leads directly to Donald Trump's website.

Once there, visitors can purchase the dog leash, which is decorated with the Trump/Pence campaign poster and MAGA (Make America Great Again) inscriptions. The product's description reads:

Your faithful companion will thank you when you take him or her for a walk with our MAGA Pet leash. Whether it's a walk in the park or just around the block, you'll make your walk great again with this functional and fashionable leash.

Twitter users were less than excited about the new product.

National Puppy Day turned out to be pretty hard for the RNC.

Donald Trump's relationship with animals has historically been a little dicey.

One of the largest threats to animal life on earth is climate change, a scientific reality recognized by almost all reputable scientists, and being dealt with by the vast majority of developed countries. Meanwhile, Donald Trump made the United States the only country in the world to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord and Scott Pruitt, Trump's head of the Environmental Protection Agency, publicly questioned even the most basic facts about climate change as recently as March 9, 2018, in an interview with CNBC:

I would not agree that [CO2] is a primary contributor to the global warming that we see. I believe that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do, and there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact.

While some scientists disagree on the degree to which humankind is affecting the environment, the overwhelming majority agree the effect is measurable and destructive to the environment.

Either way, it's doubtful earth-dwelling creatures like dogs are big fans of the President.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
