Trump slammed after announcing ‘disgusting’ new product that has people questioning if it’s even legal

Donald Trump has been hit with questions and criticism after promoting a new product which claims to be designed ‘for patriots who never back down, like President Trump’.

Over the course of his two terms in office, as well as his presidential campaigns, Trump has been linked to all sorts of products. There’s his instantly-recognizable MAGA hat, the Tesla vehicles which lined the White House lawn, and more recently he’s had a brand new smartphone named after him.

But now there’s another product on the market, and Trump wasted no time in sharing the news with a post on Truth Social.

If you’ve ever wanted to spritz yourself with a scent inspired by a 79-year-old Republican, now’s your chance. In his post, the president declared, ‘Trump Fragrances are here’.

To clarify, Trump Fragrances actually aren’t designed or sold by Trump or the Trump Organization, but the president is obviously happy to help spread the word about them.

Instead, the fragrances are available online on a site called ‘gettrumpfragrances’, which explains: “This scent is your rallying cry in a bottle. Featuring Trump’s iconic image and raised fist, this limited-edition cologne embodies strength, power, and victory.”

Trump explained that the products are ‘called “Victory 45-47” because they’re all about Winning, Strength, and Success’, and stressed that they’re available for both men and women.

He added: “Get yourself a bottle, and don’t forget to get one for your loved ones too. Enjoy, have fun, and keep winning!”

The fragrances range in price from $199 to $249, and the fact that four fragrances are already listed as ‘sold out’ on the site indicates that some of the president’s supporters couldn’t wait to get their hands on them.

Not everyone is impressed with the offering, however, with one Twitter user sharing Trump’s post and writing: “It’s too embarrassing for words.”

On Reddit, another user shared a video of Trump promoting the fragrances, taken from the product website.

Alongside the post, they asked: “How is this legal?”

“This is so disgusting. and so very him,” another responded.

Don Fox, Former Acting Director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, has previously spoken to PBS on the subject of Trump promoting private products, at the time speaking in relation to the Tesla display at the White House.

At the time, Fox explained: “He certainly violated any sense of normalcy or decency in terms of what we expect from the president. But, as it turns out, the president is actually exempt from federal conflicts of interest laws and standards.”

A doctor has revealed which symptoms of colorectal cancer are often dismissed as something else and why people dismiss them.  Colorectal cancer and the symptoms of the illness has been a topic that’s been widely discussed in recent days following the death of James Van Der Beek.  Van Der Beek, best known for starring in films and TV shows like Dawson’s Creek, Varsity Blues, and The Rules of Attraction, as well as being a contestant on Dancing With The Stars, died on Tuesday (February 11) aged 48.  His family, who have had a GoFundMe page set up for them following his death, announced the news of his passing on Instagram in a tear-jerking tribute to man they described as ‘a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend’.  Van Der Beek went public with his cancer diagnosis in 2024 after privately battling the crippling illness for over a year.  He went on to make it his mission to raise awareness about colorectal cancer, which is said to claim the lives of more than 900,000 each year across the globe.  One thing Van Der Beek was open about what the symptoms he experienced and admitted that he initially thought he was drinking too much coffee and that’s why his bowel movements had changed.  According to Dr Donald Grant, GP and Senior Clinical Advisor at The Independent Pharmacy, it’s not unusual for people to dismiss colorectal cancer symptoms as something else.  Speaking to UNILAD, Dr Grant said: “With so many overlapping symptoms, it can be easy to mistake colorectal cancer for a different condition, which can often delay diagnosis and reduce prompt treatment.  “The death of the actor James Van Der Beek this week highlights the importance of understanding the telltale signs of the condition, especially the symptoms that can often be mistaken for something else.”  He proceeded to share which symptoms people might think are something less serious, and when it’s time to go see a doctor.  Changes in bowel habits  “Firstly, changes in bowel habits are a significant sign of colorectal cancer, but with so many other potential causes, such as stress, dietary changes, IBS or minor infections, they can be quickly dismissed as harmless or temporary,” explained Dr Grant.  “Persistent diarrhoea, constipation and blood in the stool can be warning signs of this cancer, so continuous bowel issues should always be addressed to ensure it’s not a sign of a potentially fatal condition.”  Stomach pain  The healthcare professional shared: “Abdominal discomfort such as bloating and cramps can also be a sign of colorectal cancer. Again, with so many potential causes, these symptoms may be attributed to indigestion, trapped wind, food intolerance or hormonal changes, and therefore overlooked.  “Occasional cramping or bloating is common, but anyone experiencing symptoms that last for weeks should seek medical advice from their GP.”  Fatigue and weakness  “Finally, colorectal cancer can cause slow internal bleeding, which can quickly lead to iron-deficiency anaemia,” noted Dr Grant, who added: “As a result, people may experience unexplained fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath or dizziness.”  He continued: “However, as tiredness is so common, it’s no surprise that it’s often mistaken for stress or poor sleep. Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest should always be investigated to rule out serious conditions such as colorectal cancer.”
