The New York Times reported that it had \u201creviewed over a dozen hours of cabinet meeting footage to analyze how his administration spoke to him. On average, at least one of every six sentences either flattered Mr. Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Wednesday\u2019s meeting had one important difference: Trump promoted a new Trump hat that retails for $55 on the Trump Store. The hats were \u201cdisplayed prominently in front of senior officials around the table as cameras rolled,\u201d according to The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Donald Trump has turned his latest Cabinet meeting into a merchandising opportunity to line his pockets,\u201d The Daily Beast reported, noting that \u201cnew \u2018USA 250 Anniversary\u2019 hats were displayed prominently in front of senior officials around the table as cameras rolled.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York Post White House correspondent Emily Goodin on social media noted that there was \u201cnew merch\u201d at the meeting. \u201cEach cabinet member has one of these hats and a challenge coin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox Business White House correspondent Edward Lawrence reported that Trump had signed some of the hats.<\/p>\n

CNN\u2019s DJ Judd added that the \u201cnew USA 250 hat is for sale on the Trump org website and can be yours for $55 plus shipping.\u201d <\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s online store has added more than 600 new products since he returned to office in January 2025.<\/p>\n

Government ethics watchdogs \u201cwho have long accused the president of leveraging public office for private gain,\u201d are likely to criticize this latest effort to monetize his presidency, The Daily Beast added.<\/p>\n

Pointing to the 622 new products being sold on the Trump Store, the \u201cofficial retail website of The Trump Organization,\u201d CREW, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, called it \u201can unprecedented level of monetization of the presidency, even by the standards of Trump\u2019s own first term.\u201d<\/p>\n
