President Donald Trump was formerly a businessman — often called out for his unethical practices, oftentimes self-congratulating for his billionaire status — but you cannot divorce his political career from his business exploits. An Australian reporter simply asked him about it, and Trump got quite testy.
Trump has just this year announced that he would be selling perfume to celebrate his political tenacity. Menswear writers were quick to dismiss the new venture, suggesting that for that price point you’d be better off buying from designer brands like Tom Ford, which actually win awards in that area. But that ignores the obvious facts here — Trump isn’t just selling a nice scent, he’s selling his public persona.
