Shop Now!
Clinton's Facebook page says 'Sign Up'; Trump's says 'Shop Now'
Donald Trump wants you to know that he isn't a typical politician. That's evident as soon as you visit his Facebook page.
Most politicians -- including rival Hillary Clinton -- have a big button at the top of their Facebook page that says "Sign Up." Clicking on it takes people to the campaign website so they can enter their email and phone number to get involved.
But that's not what Trump's Facebook page emphasizes.
The big button on his page says: "Shop Now."
When you click on it, it takes you to his campaign store (shop.donaldjtrump.com) where you can purchase "Make America Great Again!" and "Trump Pence 2016" shirts, hats, stickers, buttons, etc. Prices start at $5.
Back in 2000, Trump told Fortune magazine that he "could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it." At that time, he was dabbling with a run and ended up getting a lucrative speaking deal.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
