The White House Gift Shop was created in 1946 by order of President Truman to sell presidential merchandise to visitors and the general public.  It is 100% non-partisan, sells memorabilia from past presidents as well as White House specific merchandise.  The funds raised from the sale of merchandise supports the uniformed Secret Service at the White House.

The Gift Shop now has a competitor.  True to his cheesy form, Trump now has HIS OWN gift shop, selling all things Trump, from autographed portraits to replica “signing pens” that he’s used for his nonstop effort to erase the Obama presidency.  Even MORE cheesy?  He lists the address of the shop as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  So, to be clear – Donald Trump is running a private enterprise OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE to cash in on this elected office. Don’t believe it?  Here’s a screen shot of the bottom of his merchandising email for his flash sale of his replica “signing pen”.

That’s right, the address of this business is Donald J. Trump, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC.  It doesn’t get much worse than this.  It seems the least he could do is put the shop address as his hotel down the street where he’s raking in millions of dollars of money paid by foreign government officials trying to curry favor.

Hurry! Only 15 more hours left to buy your replica signing pen!  Or, how about a genuwine autographed portrait of Melania (sorry, she’s clothed in these pics; I’m sure for the right price you can get one of her nude shots).  Or, how about a framed front page of inauguration day?  If you want cheese, here’s your chance.
