Amazon and Etsy are flooded with products featuring Trump’s bloodied face.

On Amazon, many of the top-selling men’s novelty T-shirts are nearly identical: some version of an image of Trump at the rally, alongside phrases like “FIGHT!” and “NEVER SURRENDER.” With the Republican National Convention in full swing in Milwaukee, vendors of far-right apparel and merchandise are cashing in — but it’s not just companies that are politically aligned with Trump that are pushing out cheap, fast products. Other sellers are capitalizing on the moment in even more obvious ways: one brand on Amazon — creatively named Trump Fist Bumped Shirt — sells a half-dozen T-shirts all in the same vein, ranging from $13 to $19.
