About Us
Welcome to TrumpSuks! 🌊🌎🐢
Here at TrumpSuks, we sell high-quality stainless steel straws to support charities and nonprofits that President Donald Trump hates. As a family-owned business, we have two dedicated team members, along with our dog Lucky, that assemble, pack, and ship each box of TrumpSuks with love. And, if you'd like us to, we can say a prayer for the state of our country with your order—free of charge.
Our brand and our story is one that was born out of desperate frustration for the lack of action by the Trump administration on climate change. Since 2016, Trump has not only allowed a culture of hatred and discrimination to permeate this country, but also mocks global warming, even claiming that rising levels of CO2 are good for the planet.
To say the least, our frustration came to a tipping point last summer with the president's launch of his plastic Trump Straws.
On July 18th, 2019, Trump's (former) re‑election campaign manager Brad Parscale, who had just boarded an airplane, Tweeted this:
I’m so over paper straws. #LiberalProgress
— Brad Parscale (@parscale) July 18, 2019
This is exactly what they would do to the economy as well. Squeeze it until it doesn’t work. pic.twitter.com/zKfiZiSHV5
In a tragic discovery, Parscale found out that paper straws tend to break when shoved into plastic lids.
From there, he got right to work arranging the launch of the campaign's next big idea: red plastic Trump Straws. When the plane touched down in Florida, the straws were staged to begin manufacturing and had gone live for preorders on the president's website.
They sold out of thousands of units in a few hours.
Another batch of Trump Straws was produced, and in just one week, the campaign had raked in over $500,000. For just $15 per pack, Trump was (and still is) allowing his followers to pump more disposable plastic waste into the world, and in so doing, raised half a million dollars that will be spent trying to get him back in office. Who knows how much more they've made since then.
But if one thing is clear, it's that the administration wasn't in the plastic straw game for the money. Launching Trump Straws was just another move by the administration to pitch climate change as a scam by the left, and to preach Trump's (wrong) opinion that the mountain of evidence behind global warming, which is undisputed among the experts, is all Fake News.
The reality Trump refuses to acknowledge is that climate change is terrifyingly real. The experts' data shows that our planet is getting exponentially hotter. It's not a liberal hoax. It's a global crisis, and we can't afford to let Trump continue making backward progress. If he takes office again in 2020, he will continue to put profit over planet and jeopardize our children's right to exist on an Earth with livable human conditions.
So I guess you could say Parscale's big idea was our last straw. We just couldn't let it slide as another Trump-era headline only to be forgotten when the next absurd story comes along.
Quit Plastic. Support Charity. Annoy Donald.
Introducing TrumpSuks! Our straws are made from high-quality, reusable, FDA-approved, food-grade 304 stainless steel and come in 100% compostable packaging. We've done the work to make sure TrumpSuks are safe, high quality, and most of all, eco-friendly through and through. You'll actually want to use them over plastic alternatives.
But that's not all. Like Trump, we're not just here to sell straws. When you buy from us, you're sending a message that you won't settle for the president's disrespect for this country. That's why with every purchase through our site, 10% of your cost will be donated to one of our 6+ impactful charities—that President Trump happens to hate. And that percentage will rise the more we grow.
Your purchase also sends a message, literally. When you place your order, we will let the president know on the site he's most comfortable with that you supported a charity he hates through TrumpSuks.com. Confirming your order will trigger a Tweet to be sent from @HeyTrumpSuks straight to @POTUS with a message like, "Someone in Washington, DC supported Planned Parenthood on Trumpsuks!"
Get your box of TrumpSuks today and commit to the fight against plastics. It's not a leftist agenda, it's a movement led by humans of all political backgrounds. Since our own leaders won't do it, we need to be the ones to create a sustainable future for ourselves and the next generation.
TrumpSuks. We don't have to.
