Don Jr. Roasted for Hawking Trump-Brand Valentine’s Day Gifts: These Are ‘Grounds for Divorce’
February 8, 2018Is there anything more romantic than a teddy bear in a bathrobe sitting on an airplane?
Donald Trump Jr. thinks not.
President Trump’s oldest son is being dragged on social media after he tried to hawk Trump-brand merchandise from his Twitter account on Wednesday.
“When roses just won’t cut it…#ValentinesDay,” Trump Jr. tweeted, sharing a photo of a stuffed bear posing with a bathrobe and plane emblazoned with Trump’s name.
Trump Jr. also linked to the website for the Trump Organization’s official Trump Store, which currently advertises on its homepage “Gifts we love for Valentine’s Day.”
Twitter was not impressed, to say the least.

When roses won't cut it, buy your intimate partner… a bear in a bathrobe sitting on an airplane? https://t.co/yUD989s4pd

And if you pay the bear $130,000 it won't talk about what you did to it.

Isn't it illegal to use your position to boost business sales?

All the taste and class we've come to expect from the Trump brand.

A teddy bear* in a bathrobe spread eagle on a toy airplane with your father’s name on it?!?! 🤢 Jesus, God, just no. Roses are fine. Thanks!
*Likely both made in China

Is that a bear in a Trump robe riding a Trump plane? What in the actual eff? That says Valentine's Day to you? That explains a lot. There is no love in it.

Nothing says 'please divorce me' like giving your loved one a trump spa teddy bear for valentine's Day.

I don't know one woman that would be happy to get this as a present. In fact, this cheaply over-sea made bear would be grounds for divorce. #TrumpProductsAreUnAmerican

No, honey, just no. No one wants to see this teddy bear, legs agape, with a Trump plane suggestively placed between its legs. No thanks. pic.twitter.com/oFrbAT1VON

“For those of you looking to get divorced this Valentine’s Day,” quipped one tweeter.
“I would be HIGHLY upset to receive this for Valentines Day,” another commenter wrote. “Valentine’s Day is not the day to buy a stuffed bear dressed in a trump robe sitting on a plane.”
“No, honey, just no,” a critic scolded Trump Jr. “No one wants to see this teddy bear, legs agape, with a Trump plane suggestively placed between its legs.”
