As much as I dislike Gibson, out of principle I'm 100% on their side in this argument

Probably am forgetting a few other items.
Oh how the US would have been so much better off if this guy only had a market stall on a country fair....
Put 1000% tariffs on each of it.
It's all from China, so he's talking about it. LOL. Not that he's ever actually followed through on a promise.
Sells water, steaks, an airline, a magazine, and fails, but more than any other thing... Trump sells Trump.
Edit: there are so many more https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/all-of-donald-trump-s-businesses-that-failed/ar-BB1ntZby
Does anyone know where these “16 Creative” guitars come from? I assume these are imported knockoffs made in a country that Trump’s supporters have been told to hate.
The article sure implies as much.
several categories, with signed editions, limited to 275 pieces, priced at upwards of $10,000.
He'll make a quarter million just like that.
Edit: or a cut from it. Your other comment made me realize Trump just endorsed them.
275*10,000 =2.8 million
You are right!
Prolly bought them in bulk from China, better stockpile before that darned new president puts the tariffs in place.
Who is the manufacturer of these guitars?
All of the guitars featured on GetTrumpGuitars.com were custom designed and developed by a Veteran owned company with the help of a master luthier. These guitars have been manufactured by multiple providers and include parts/features that are both domestic and international. This is standard with most guitar manufacturers.
These things are probably absolute garbage lol
Who is the manufacturer of these guitars?
The cheapest manufacturer he could find in China that he's hoping to stiff as soon as possible.
No, there's obviously a veteran, paid as little as possible, to put the strings on and stuck a "made in the USA" sticker on! It's creating domestic jobs! (/s)
They are cheaply made in china.
Let’s rip off Gibson and see who has the balls to fight back.
Sorry I’m at the dentist like in the chair and can’t be funnier.
He’s immune, he don’t care
Oh yeah, it's not his company. He just agreed to endorse it for a cut of the profits.
This article was clearly not written by a human being.
I don't even think this is the first time Gibson has done this this year.
I'm not even sure if it is the first time this month.
It sure sounds like they don't fuck around when it comes to their intellectual property.
Yeah, on one hand this is the game the law makes you play with trademarks despite it all being rather bullshit. On the other hand the trump guitar is made by shitstains, for shitstains.
Woo bad guy fight!
