Mon Nov 25 22:50:00 UTC 2024: **Trump Launches Line of “Make America Great Again” Guitars**
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has added a new item to his burgeoning post-election business ventures: a line of “Make America Great Again” guitars. The guitars, priced between $1,250 and $10,000, feature American flag and eagle designs, and are available in acoustic and electric models. A “Signature Edition” guitar, priced at $10,000, includes Trump’s autograph.
The announcement, made via a Truth Social post, shows a photograph of Trump holding one of the instruments. The guitars are sold through GetTrumpGuitars.com, a website that currently lacks information regarding the financial arrangements between Trump and the company producing and selling the guitars. This lack of transparency is notable given Trump’s history of blending business and political interests.
This latest venture follows a string of Trump-branded products launched since his 2024 presidential campaign, including watches, Bibles, sneakers, and even cryptocurrency. Some of these products were linked to CIC Ventures LLC, a company Trump listed in his 2023 financial disclosure. Other ventures, however, lack similar transparency regarding licensing agreements or ownership details.
The new guitar line joins a collection of Trump-branded merchandise that has expanded rapidly since a $489 million civil fraud judgment against the former president. Past ventures have included $100 silver coins bearing his likeness and NFTs. The opaque nature of the financial dealings surrounding these enterprises remains a subject of ongoing interest.
