Not the usual boring socks! ? ?

Something a little different perhaps?

“These socks are not only EXTREMELY comfortable, but they’re also showing support for the Trump 2020 Campaign for re-election!

Remember we only get 1 more chance at fixing America, because if the left wins you know they will come after every hard working patriot!”

Are we missing a trick over here for our elections? A Corbyn Marxist hat? A Boris tie pin?
?

You could make sock puppets out of them.

You could dye them orange, make sock puppets out of them and keep the kids entertained for hours with impressions of El Derango tchgrin

I know nothing about your Boris but from what you've all said, it sounds as if he needs a truss.

So an "I support Boris Support?" Just don't let him devalue the Union Flag as the socks above have done with the Stars and Stripes.

Strangely, I once remember an actual riot when someone trampled on Old Glory and yet here they are, inviting people to do it in Trump's name. confused

The recent British election has shown that, it doesn't matter what other politicians think, it's the people who vote and the people who decide!
So, like it or not, there is a chance that Trump will get re-elected.
I have no objection to wearing patriotic socks, but I would draw the line at having an actual name on them.

Nice one SirChenjin

I’d prefer Trump toilet paper!

I think I will pass on that one.

I do have a pair of socks with the Welsh dragon on them, a gift. ? ???????

Whatever anyone thinks about Trump, America is thriving and just like Brexit he was voted for!!

America thriving but not doing anything about their effect on climate change will condemn the whole world to big, big problems. It also shafts the economies and hence the populations of the countries with which the US trades.

Trump just doesn't have the ability to understand anything wider than what will benefit "him". To achieve that he promotes what will in the short term seem to be good for the US, but ignoring both the long term and the fate of the globe.

There is a saying that you should have ethics and morals as though you will die tomorrow and be called upon to justify your life, and you should farm as though you will have to live forever on the fertility of the land.

America is thriving - compared to what? Here’s a bit of a fact check www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-45827430
