Ads for a teddy bear modeled after Donald Trump have began airing on TV, once again raising the question of who is behind the Trumpy Bear

FWIW, I object to the flag blanket
I emailed this:
It is cute but, you are disrespecting our flag by the way it is crammed inside and not being folded correctly. Using it for a blanket is disrespectful also. On flag is to be flown high and honored, not laid on.
Sincerely,
A Veteran
Off topic slightly.
My wife wants to get me and all of our kids the official White House Christmas ornament for 2017. Trumps first Christmas, with a big Eagle front and silver in gold, with American flags all around. It looks REALLY good.
And then she said “Except you probably won’t want it because of what is on the back...”
Turns out the other side has some stuff paying homage to FDR on it! I couldn’t believe it. I told her to skip mine (although I’m having second thoughts), and for the kid’s - make sure to put a sticker on the back saying “Trump - 2017”).
Okay - just went to the White House official site - they have an ornament that is more like a Fabrege Egg almost (an oblong ball) that is more old-fashioned and very nice (and $155). With the number 58 on the side (58th Presidential Inauguration).
The one my wife showed me was $20....
Will need to do a bit more searching!
Where is its hat?
It looks well made...we might buy a few...
It's $40. And the Trump campaign doesn't see a dime.
My point, exactly.
If this item was concocted in China, what would they know about US Flag etiquette?
Ooppsie. That would give me second thoughts also.
Negative Points
Could Offend Trump Supporters
Some people who support President Trump may think carrying the bear is a good way to show their support for him and his party. However, others may be offended that a stuffed toy has been made to resemble him.
May be Used as Protest Device
On the other hand, people who don’t support Trump might use this bear as part of their protests, ripping it apart or defacing it and making a mess in the process.
Critical Advice
If you use this bear as part of your patriotic holiday decor, be sure to keep it far away from any fireworks being used, in order to avoid it catching on fire.
The reviews are funny.

‘have began airing’?
Want to bet a dime it is made in CHINA?
Completely agree with you. Hubby carefully folds our Flag when he brings it down at night.
We have those holders for the columns on the house. I got so mad about the kneelers, I ordered and had installed a 20 ft in ground flag poll which will take 2 flags. Old Glory goes up at 8 AM, comes down at proper time. Hubby spent 20 yrs in the Navy.
FWIW... when I first saw the commercial, I thought it was a joke. It looked like some weird skit commercial for SNL. I guess I thought to myself, “Is this how some American see conservative people?” It was just so stereotypical... the vet biker, the “God fearing” woman.... the flag put darn near everywhere. The “God bless Trumpy-bear” line was stupid to me, too. There may have been stupid Obama merchandise with stereotypes too but I don’t remember them (or being so lame).
Just sent link to my friends, with this lead:
“For that hard to buy for liberal in your life”
That’s my girl!
Any one interested in Patriot Themed T’s Patiotdepot.com has them on sale. $10 short sleeved, men’s and women’s. Usually black or Navy a few white.
I wonder who is making money from selling these.
