Not so Sharpie...Trump imagines negotiation with Sharpie maker for $5 signature pens

[reACTIONary]

Trump told a lengthy story about negotiating over the price of Sharpie pens. The company says it has no record of any such conversation.

My dilemma... Is this late breaking news or not? I put it in general discussion, because, philosophically, it is not news that TSF imagines things.

1. Other than it being a damn lie - It also shows once again that he sucks at negotiating. He paid 5 bucks for one sharpie?

As Lawrence pointed out A pack of sharpie costs less than what he claimed he paid for one.
A quick look on Amazon - A 6 pack is $5.74

2. Trump has always created fictitious stories

It's just that this past year the stories are so insane its hard not to notice them. The paperclip, the unibomber story ...

The best part of this one is watching his entire cabinet frozen in place pretending his rambling story is both real and incredible.

3. It's a marketing ploy

He's about to sell "official" Trump sharpies to MAGA.
