13. Sites like that make their money from advertising.

That’s a pretty limited target audience right there. An advertiser would have to be okay with spending money to reach only the MAGA crowd, and with being associated with everything Trump stands for.

Pillows will only get him so far. I’ve never looked at the site, so I don’t know who the advertisers are. There must be some, but it’s a finite pool. And once he loses the election, they will be paying to reach fewer and fewer eyeballs.

Who in their right mind would invest in that?
