A vendor recently sold wooden figurines of Donald Trump holding a sign saying “Let’s go Brandon” at a mall on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Alaska.

"The incident has prompted officials to update their guidance to vendors on what is — and isn’t — appropriate to sell on base," the Anchorage Daily News reported Tuesday. "The wooden figurines of a bear stylized to look like former President Donald Trump, with a shock of yellow hair and long red tie, stood about a foot tall and held small signs reading 'Let’s Go Brandon.' The phrase emerged this fall as a coded way of saying 'F--- Joe Biden,' spreading from a viral NASCAR clip to conservative meme."

Chris Ward, a spokesman for the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, said the "bears" were sold by an independent vendor at the base's officially managed commercial facility. The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is a Defense Department agency that oversees goods and services sold at U.S. military installations.

1. No doubt the figures were sold out. But article does not say so I do not

know for sure. That said, the base should have caught how inappropriate the figures were before they were up for sale.

2. Wouldn't that be insubordination to the Commander in Chief?

14. Damn, that is grotesque

Who on earth would want that? It is so ugly, makes Trump look like the Walking Dead.

8. The Vendor Should Be Permanently Banned

Consider it a consequence for a total lack of judgment.
A product promoting the denigration of the CiC shows the vendor to be unpatriotic & that they have no reason to be making money on a US military base.

9. So the big strong soldiers are buying dolls?

11. Hmm

What’s the Pentagon’s position about demeaning the Commander-In-Chief?

This seems insubordinate.

13. Who at AAFES approved the vendor selling these?

That person needs to be updating their resume right now.
