I’d be willing to bet even if you pay the 5,000 you wouldn’t be getting fabric from that actual suit. Donald Duck is such a grifter even his grifts are grifts

Don’t call this POS Donald Duck. Donald Duck canonically is a War Vet with PTSD that constantly was griping at Scrooge for not helping the community enough. Donald Duck is based AF.

As far as I’m aware. I read the comic it’s a part of. They went to Egypt to try to excavate a tomb IIRC, but I’m probably conflating two different comics.

In the 90s there were enough “pieces of the Berlin Wall” going around to build the Great Wall of China. I suspect it will be something similar.

There’s a little monument in my city that has a piece of the Berlin Wall on a stone pedestal. There’s a plaque commemorating the fall of the wall. Underneath is a smaller, newer plaque that says “this is not a real piece of the Berlin Wall”

I wonder if they got grifted by one of those fakes in the 90s, that would explain it

There are legitimate pieces of the Berlin Wall. You just need to have a picture of it before it came down and you can identify it by the graffiti.

Wow, just looked it up you appear to be correct 👍

Although from what I see he did have a mugshot taken in Fulton county but the famous one is fake

If only Donald was larger than 6’3" and 215 lbs he might have more suit pieces to go around!

$1,000 says that:
a) that’s not the actual suit he wore
and
b) there’s a lot more than a single suit worth of fabric up for sale.

The former president has released a series of digital trading cards priced at $99 each and anyone who buys all 47 will receive a physical card containing a piece of the “priceless” navy suit and be invited to a gala dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

They aren’t even selling the suit. They’re selling digital trading cards, LMAO. Collect em all and get a piece of garbage and cheeseburder.

If I thought there was actually a dinner at the end of it and that I could talk to him I would go just to be like

“Yo, you’re the guy on the cards. I didn’t know you actually existed”

“I wish I looked as good as I do on those cards, that I can tell you,” the former president says in the video.

“They give me muscles where, believe me, I don’t have them.”

This may be the most honest and down-to-earth thing he’s ever said

They aren’t though. He won 51% of the white, college-educated vote.

Out of the regular suit?

Because there’s no way he’ll stop selling pieces claiming it came from that suit. I’d be surprised if any are honestly, I bet Rudy (or some other idiot) found a bag of scraps at a tailorshop and that’s what they’re selling.
