The character in his portrait is crouched at the hips in a boxing ring, framed in a red jumpsuit, with a “Trump Champion” belt holding his waist against an American flag background.
“Only $99 each! A great idea for a Christmas gift! Hurry up! I think they will leave very quickly,” the former president repeats.
