It isn’t uncommon to see companies and organizations selling rainbow-clad items leading up to June’s LGBTQ Pride month. Recent stories on Disney, Reebok and Bud Light offering products sporting rainbow colors have appeared on many websites, including this one.
It isn’t even strange to see political candidates selling Pride T-shirts as they attempt to raise campaign funds, but you might expect politicians selling those shirts to have at least publicly supported LGBTQ Pride month.
That is something the current president has never done, which is why LGBTQ community advocates and allies may question the Donald Trump campaign’s inclusion of the Trump Pride Tee, currently for sale on the official Trump Make America Great Again committee website.
“Show your pride and your support for Trump with this exclusive equality tee,” the website states. The Trump Pride Tee is 100% cotton, has a durable rib neckband and is “proudly made in the USA.” The front of the shirt features the six colors of the LGBTQ rainbow flag along with the phrase “LGBTQ for Trump.” The back of the shirt sports the “Trump/Pence” logo.
The T-shirt is currently on sale for $24, available in sizes Small to 3XL and can be purchased alongside such items as Trump’s infamous “Make America Great Again” red hat, a “Build That Wall” T-shirt and a “Baby For Trump” onesie.
The Trump Make America Great Again Committee is a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. and the Republican National Committee.
