And finally… Conservative gift retailer launches ‘MAGA building blocks’ for children
Conservative retailer Keep and Bear has launched a Lego-style kit which encourages children to construct a toy border wall.
Released just in time for the US holiday season, the Build the Wall Starter Kit includes 101 pieces for constructing a tiny plastic wall, accompanied by an angry-looking Trump figurine wearing a hard hat.
On the box is a logo similar in style to Lego’s that reads MAGA, short for Make America Great Again, which Trump used as his campaign slogan and has since become synonymous with his supporters.
According to the toy’s description: “A mob of 10,000 Central American migrants is marching through Mexico and heading toward El Paso, Texas. Mexican border agents attempted to stop them at the Mexican border, but to no avail.”
The package also carries a graphic of the product, which appears to be blocking a Lego-like character dressed in a sombrero and poncho, holding maracas, and stood in front of a Mayan temple and below colourful papel picado bunting – all stereotypical of Mexico.
