 In yesterday's #1 buzzsawmonkey said: I remember thinking last year that I could make a fortune by doing a caricature of Donald Trump, having it printed on one of those little round home-trampolines, and marketing it as the "Trump-O-Line" for Leftists to jump up and down on to work out their aggressions.  I did not do that because I did not wish to contribute to the political divisions in the country, but if I had done so, not only would I have made a fortune but---who knows?---it might have calmed the Leftists down a little so that things could be worked out more amicably. I appreciate your restraint, but there's a big part of me that would still love to see it sold. You could possibly call it the Stomp-o-Line so leftists would feel better about stomping and jumping on his face.

                                             Reply to vxbush in 2:  Possibly---but his "public figure" status might affect that.    It doesn't matter anyway; I learned long ago that it's easy to make a cool product, but the enterprise will stand or fall on the quality of the merchandising---and merchandising can be quite difficult.  Not to mention that once the product appeared, it could easily be ripped off by pre-existing businesses with better marketing networks.
