I do love a good pumpkin pie, but what's the story behind that?
I shared that because it seems so "off" to me. He doesn't seem like a pie guy but don't ask me why. For some reason I can't imagine Trump eating any kind of pie. But you made me wonder if the page for the tee would have a little story like "President Trump loves pumpkin pie! When he was a boy..." But I checked the page and there's nothing there other than an order form.
What you're seeing here is the blank slateifaction of politics the right does with Trump. It doesn't matter what he says or does, i.e. being a bit of a dandy who doesn't eat pies like a real blue collar roughneck, what matters is that the chuds THINK he does, so it's willed into being.
For the longest time even into 2017 I didn't understand the magic of the MAGA cap. But then I saw a photo of Trump with a guy in his cabinet. He always reminded me of The Simpson's Mr. Burns. In one of his grifts - he stole $50 million or $100 million. I don't remember the number. I entirely forgot his name. [Ninja edit - It was Wilbur Ross.] The little nebbish of a criminal billionaire was wearing a MAGA cap and with it - voila - he was transformed into some kind of alternate reality trucker guy or something. That was true - even if he was still a obscenely rich guy in a suit who would steal the gold filling out of the mouth of still warm corpse of a chud's deceased mother.
He's one of us.
