A New Trump Slogan— ‘Make Straws Great Again’
Trump’s reelection campaign may have a new slogan. A Friday missive from Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale says “Make Straws Great Again.” The email takes a stab at paper straws (they “don’t work”) before making its pitch:
“That’s why we just launched our latest product—Official Trump Straws. Now you can finally be free from liberal paper straws that fall apart within minutes and ruin your drink.”
A 10-pack of the recycled red straws, adorned with “TRUMP” in silver, runs for $15 but takes nearly two weeks for delivery. This after Parscale tweeted earlier in the week that paper straws represent what Democrats would do with the economy: “Squeeze it until it doesn’t work.”
On Friday, a Guardian reporter asked Trump about straws at a press conference.
“I do think we have bigger problems than plastic straws. You know, it’s interesting about plastic straws: so, you have a little straw, but what about the plates, the wrappers, and everything else that are much bigger and they’re made of the same material?”
It’s true plastic straws apparently make up less than 1% of the ocean’s plastic waste and are needed by some people with disabilities. Yet a ban would still reduce the single-use plastic problem that plagues sea life (as in this sad video). Meanwhile, plastic-straw alternatives include hay straws, glass straws, and bamboo straws. And now, there’s the idiotic Trump straw.

Locals, even the trumptrash, are sympathetic since so many are hear for what used to be pristine waters and full of life. I once sucked a plastic bag into an intake and it was expensive as hell.
Plastic bags and 6 pack rings are killing turtles visibly, fishing line kills birds and I’ve seen it personally. There’s a lot of plastic crap we could get rid of, but somehow the hipsters with those buns on their heads just have to walk around all day with plastic bottles so their brains don’t dry out.
Damn, if your whole life is all about owning someone else like this, you need to get a new life. Just saying is all. Also too what idiot thinks they are getting a bargain for 15 bucks for 10 straws. I guess at least they won’t be able to donate to right wing causes if they spend their money on this stupid stuff and you know they will because these nutjobs are just that stupid.
