| Description | resident Donald Trump's campaign has come up with a new way to raise funds for the 2020 election: selling straws with his name on them.
It is unknown if the campaign is going against the initiative embraced by bars, restaurants and even entire communities to get rid of single-use plastic straws in an effort to reduce waste and protect the environment, as the material they're made from isn't listed.
The official 2020 Trump/Pence campaign website is selling a 10 pack of straws for $15 as "liberal paper straws don't work."
In response, Greenpeace Oceans Campaign Director John Hocevar told Newsweek: "Donald Trump has based his entire presidency on lies and divisiveness, so it is no surprise that he is selling plastic straws because his presidency is a cheap throwaway with disastrous long term consequences. |
