Trump pointed to the socks while posing for photos with Nungesser. They feature a caricature of Trump’s face adorned with a “fake combover” that the wearer can stroke; the hair piece is described as “soft” and “luxurious” with material designed in “knit in a thinner stretchy weave.” The rest of the material consists of a cotton/polyester/spandex blend and cuts around the mid-calf.
The socks were created by Gumball Poodle company, which sells them on Amazon.com for $25.49.
Nungesser said the tribute socks were meant to woo Trump to tweet support for “American Idol” finalist Laine Hardy, who hails from Louisiana.
I asked @POTUS today if he would tweet his support for @TheLaineHardy @AmericanIdol. I reminded him that LA supported him, while CA and NY, the homes of the other 2 finalist, did not. Trump responded and said, “Billy, I will see what we can do!” #MakeSocksGreatAgain pic.twitter.com/4E09MAIm38
