Little bit of Insider Baseball on knives. Anytime a knife doesn't list the blade steel, I assume we're looking at 7Cr17MOV, 440C, or D2 with a bad heat treat. That price point is quite a bit higher than these cheap Chinese steels. Just another "True Patriot" grift. Pocket knives are cool tools and there are a slew of American brands that won't break by cutting into cardboard. These Trump Combat Knives will last a couple months maybe.

Trump and his family of billionaires are also launching a cryptocurrency as final bid to grift as much as possible before he, hopefully, loses and they all become irrelevant forever

That's what I was hoping in 2020. It seems the slow steady progress of time will have to take care of it.

"Patriot addict" = "Bad with money."

Trump be hiring every sixth grader that pirated Photoshop cs3. Everything he releases just has this design aesthetic that no one tried because it's awful.

Right? I was about to lose my mind because no one commentend that. This looks worse than the overlay of tele-shopping channels

That same Patriot Addict company also has a Trump bobblehead which is 100x more horrifying than I expected. Tremendously horrifying. The most horrifying thing in the history of our country.

While this is odd given the current political landscape in America, pretty sure I remember Bush having knives and stuff too. Would see them at the local carry out when I was young.

Inb4 Patriot Glocks or AR14s….I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else already has tapped that market though.

Sad to see a company that once manufactured arms to fight fascism turn to manufacturing them for the glorification of fascists.

Also a small nerdy aside, their ‘about’ page still mentions Blish’s delayed blowback breech locking system which, while technically effective when done properly, has since been proven to not have functioned as Blish thought at the time. It’s actually considered an unsafe delay system as modification, damage, or material change of the gun can cause the delay to disappear resulting in the explosion inside the barrel finding its way out of the wrong end of the barrel possibly injuring/killing the operator.

Ahh right, I assumed 100% voting rates. You've definitely changed there context here. Really great job at focusing in on it.
