I bought one because my car needed a thorough buffing, but those damn rhinestones screwed up the finish.

women's shelters or good will, take a tax write off and enjoy the good publicity when they release the story that they've donated so much.

Besides...
It would piss off Trump even more... win win.

halfway decent, you really can't beat the price.

ETA: that necklace isn't part of it, right? If it is, then never mind what I said.

Not seeing the whole thing I'd guess that the sweater is probably basic and decent looking. From the pic I'd say it's made of an angora wool mix so it would be soft.

I agree that folks could buy and wear it themselves. For $1.00 I'd be tempted to buy it and put it aside for next holiday gift giving season. I just really like the idea of Marshalls donating it and annoying Trump.

get an Invanka Trump label, others get a Target label, and still others get a Forman Mills label. Probably the most expensive thing about it is the label.

It's hard to turn down a bargain like that. I'm thinking lambswool myself. I'm not going to a Marshalls to find out.

Full disclosure: at a thrift store last night, I saw an obviously counterfeit MAGA red hat. Brand new condition. $2.99? Forget it. That I would never wear, as you can't remove the label. The usual Trump stuff is so awful looking that no one could wear it. Well, maybe to change the oil in the car, but I have clothes for that job already.

But the sweater, once the label is removed (or even if it isn't), no one knows it's an Invanka sweater.

thundering on about how China was stealing American jobs. But that doesn't apply to his clothing line or his daughter's obviously.

The man's hypocrisy knows no bounds.

You could cut the label out and wear the sweater. You can't buy a wool sweater at a thrift store for that price.

Invanka has already made her money on this. That happened when the sweater was wholesaled to Marshalls. Marshalls is the one eating the cost of this sweater. What they have learned is never to order Invanka Trump merchandise again. Anything with a Trump label is pure poison from now on.

Similarly, you could, if you were so inclined, buy Trump merchandise at the Goodwill and not enrichen the Trump family. The problem is that Trump-branded items are of extremely poor material, tailoring, and style. At least the item I saw was just so awful that I shook my head upon seeing it and stuck it right back on the rack.

Wouldn't they want someone to take it off their hands?
