Has anyone else seen this?

I thought it was an SNL spoof commercial only to find it’s real.

A teddy bear based on Trump with blonde hair and with an American flag themed blanket inside the bear.

I wonder if Trump lovers are the ones buying it or Trump haters making fun of him.

And no, I’m not selling them.

It will be worth three times the top selling "My Little Pony" in ten years.

Your knowledge of collectables is astounding.

i'm also pretty sure that shoving an american flag inside a teddy bear would not be considered proper storage.

Default As Seen on TV Ad.......

I thought it was cheesy and fake, until I read this:


As the "Trumpy Bear" website states, the 22" bear comes with a 30" X 30" flag colored blanket (which looks bigger in the commercial) stored in a zippered neck pouch. Considering the cheesy nature of the video, it's hard to say if the folks behind the bear are serious supporters, trolls, or someone just looking to make a little money. Whatever the case, they do explicitly warn on their website that they "cannot accept returns of intentionally damaged bears"; so don't get any bright ideas.


Exceptional Products, Inc., the company listed on the website as the distributor for Trumpy Bear, is also the company behind such "as seen on TV" products as the Hairdini, Cargoroo, and Wrap Snap Go. According to their "About Us" page, Exceptional Products, Inc. is essentially a startup investment company that helps inventors get their products out in front of the public.


Is 'Trumpy Bear' Donald Trump Teddy Bear Commercial Real?

Either way, if you are a real Trump supporter, it does not feel genuine to me, in the sense that this is something you would want, in all sincerity, I would not want the bear because they make fun of his hair on the bear.


I did see a "Trump Chia Head" for $19.99, at Walmart, where you grow grass out of his head. That one seemed interesting.

The Dems should buy one ... they can beat it up when they get frustrated with the Donald.
Maybe it will keep them from tearing up other people's property.

The Teddy Bear was originally made to honor Theodore Roosevelt - and he is as American as it gets.

Sounds like a good idea. The play dough and coloring books don't seem to be working.
