The Build A Wall Mart

If the only thing Donald Trump comes out of the US election with is a bucket load of his supporters' money, most of the world will breathe a sigh of relief.

The Donald has not been shy with his merchandising. There are currently 62 T-shirts, hoodies, vests, and Polo shirts on his website, excluding another 18 individual state designs. T-shirts range from $20 to $35, Polo shirts $50. Foam hands for $25, caps - that his campaign finances report cost about $5 - go for up to $30.

48 different badges for $5 each, one for every state he thinks he can win - and a few others thrown in for good measure. $30 for a poster with Trump's signature scrawled across a dozen images of Trump, done in Photoshop's best handwriting.

Holding a party? $315 gets you a bumper pack of caps, t-shirts, signs, and cardboard megaphones for you and some of your five friends. Going as a couple? $95 for caps, t-shirts and pom-poms!

Against Trump's 62 pieces of apparel, Hillary Clinton has 20 - only 15 in stock, though it has to be said her official shop is reasonably well stocked - if a little less generic.

Tote bags, a cushion, and an official "Woman Card" are among the items in her store. While Trump's merchandise is generic, Clinton's has been designed by a variety of artists and designers whose names probably mean more to others than they do to me. Clinton also offers refunds, Trump doesn't, citing the payment to be a donation rather than a purchase. His FAQ's also make a lot of bluster about the deduction of a postage charge from the donation.

The good news for British citizens is that they are excluded from buying any of this overpriced tat by US election law.

Trump has three times the merchandise on offer, and mostly at higher prices. If you can see a Trump supporter coming, so can Trump.
