Donald Trump’s campaign has made at least $3 million in merchandise sales since he was booked at the Fulton County jail in Georgia. According to numbers obtained by Fox, that includes $1.7 million on T-shirts, $864,000 on coffee mugs, and $352,000 on posters.
Trump turned himself in on Thursday August 24. From the moment his mugshot was released, he and his campaign worked to turn it into a publicity and fundraising opportunity. They are selling items with his printed mugshot including a $34.00 t-shirt, a signed poster for $28, a coffee mug for $25, and a $15 koozie.
The campaign also received $4.2 million in donations the day after the former President was booked. It was their single largest 24-hour fundraising period since they launched.
Trump is going to need the cash on hand as some of his opponents get a post debate boost.
Trump campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio sent a memo to top donors and supporters saying former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy are both surging after the Milwaukee debate, August 23rd. According to the memo obtained by Axios, Haley is gaining support in Iowa, while both she and Ramaswamy are essentially tied in New Hampshire with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
Ramaswamy’s surge appears to be getting Trump’s attention. When asked by talk show host Glenn Beck what he thinks of a Vice President Ramaswamy, Trump said he’d be very good, adding Ramaswamy is smart, young and full of talent.
