Mugshot Monday - “Presidential Slogans Mug” by The Unemployed Philosophers Guild with Ethiopia Light Roast by Peace Coffee

No other US presidential candidate has ever run a campaign with the slogan, “CONVICTED FELON”.

It’s feeling like former president and current GOP front-runner Donald Trump may be unable to shake this new political slogan as it appears to be sticking. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts on May 31.

This Political Slogans mug was made in 2013, so it doesn’t include Trump’s MAGA “Make America Great Again” slogan.

I bought it after the the 2016 election, I had not realized that Reagan’s slogan “Let’s Make America Great Again” was co-opted by Trump’s campaign.

So I thought it’d be cool to familiarize myself with these historical slogans.

I remember many of them from school like: “Who? Who? Hoover”, “For a New Deal” and “I Like Ike”.

But there were some others that I didn’t know, like: “Keep Cool-idge”, “Give ‘Em Hell Harry!”, and “Turn the Rascals Out”. 😂

It doesn’t look like mug maker is going to refresh the design to include modern slogans, but I’d make a case to go with the felon one rather than the MAGA one for 45.

Has someone created a red MAGA hat yet that says “CONVICTED FELON”? Guessing we’ll see it soon enough. I think it’s quite fitting.
