Alongside campaign memorabilia such as buttons, signs, stickers and the infamous 'Make America Great Again' hat, President-elect Donald Trump is now also selling a 'Red Cap Collectible Ornament' in his official online store.
The large Make America Great Again Red Cap Collectible Ornament is made of brass and 24 karat gold, which seems to explain the steep $150 price tag of the Christmas tree ornament. If nothing else, the over-the-top tree ornament is true to the opulent style that Trump enjoys.
As well as just being a decorative bauble, the collectible ornament is playing a part in pushing the President-elect's stance on using politically correct holiday greetings. The holiday ornament was introduced to supporters in an email that said Trump “makes a point of proudly saying 'Merry Christmas' every chance he gets."
