There's an old stock market joke:

A very rich man calls his broker and says, “I got a tip to buy XYZ Company. Buy me 250,000 shares.” The broker says “Ok. Done”. The next day the rich man calls the broker and says, “The share price nearly doubled. Buy me 500,000 more shares.” The broker says “OK.” The next day the rich man calls and says,”The share price almost doubled again. This time buy me one million shares. “. The broker says,”OK.”

The next day the rich man calls and says, “I’ve made my profit. Sell it all.”

And the broker responds , “Sell? To whom? This was all about you and you alone.”

Thus…the Trump merchandise and stock goes.
