Interesting thing I found out.
Funny, but also irritating.
During the Trump administration, the White House Gift Shop announced a collectible coin to commemorate a potential meeting between the president and the leader of North Korea.
I felt that a commemorative "coin" for that bizarre encounter was the most bizarre collectible I had ever heard of, so I ordered one for purely for the mercenary purpose of reselling it at some point in the future.
That purchase did of course place me on the White House Gift Shop mailing list, communications from which I routinely ignored following the purchase of that stupid medallion.
Tonight I was clearing out some of most recent emails from the gift shop and found a new email describing an upcoming product called the (I kid you not):
"Trump Epilogue Coin #1"
...which is designed to commemorate his indictment.
So now I fully understand that the Gift Shop is a political tool used by whoever occupies the office.
