No honor among thieves: NC GOP group under investigation for selling fake Trump signatures

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/gop-group-under-criminal-investigation-after-auctioning-maga-hats-with-fake-trump-signatures/?utm_source=push_notifications

The Lower Cape Fear Republican Women, a GOP group based in Wilmington, N.C., held a fundraising auction at which one of the exhibits was a pair of red MAGA hats said to be hand-signed by Mr. Trump. Someone bid $1600 for them.

After he got them home, he examined the hats more closely and determined the signatures were digitally printed, not signed with Trump's hand.

To this I have three questions:

1) Why does the Latin phrase "caveat emptor" spring to mind?

2) Or a slightly more modern saying about fools and their money.

and

3) Should I buy one of those printers? (They're $17,000.) I could make just so much fucking money if I had a printer that would print on a hat.

I can't wait to see what the Republicans do to themselves next.
