‘Donald Trump Classic Tweets Toilet Paper’ had 140-character messages from before he was elected president.





Amazon.com has stopped selling toilet paper with United States President Trump’s old tweets printed on them after they were deemed disrespectful. The e-commerce giant pulled the product from its website hours after it first went on sale on Friday, the Daily Star reported.

“Donald Trump Classic Tweets Toilet Paper” had tweets from before Trump was elected president. The product, sold by Toilet Tweets and marked “Amazon fulfilled”, was available to US Amazon Prime customers for $11.99 (around Rs 760).

The toilet paper included some of Trump’s most controversial 140-character comments. “Do you think Putin will be going to the Miss Universe Pageant in November in Moscow – if so, will he become my new best friend?” read one of his tweets from June 19, 2013.

Another one from June 4, 2014, read, “Are you allowed to impeach a president for gross incompetence?”

1. Well, that blows my Christmas gift list ...

... all to shit.

2. Seems more likely it got pulled over tweet copyright issues than being "disrespectful". They are...

still selling lots of toilet paper with Trump's picture on it.

16. Who owns the tweets once tweeted?

17. According to twitter's agreement the tweeter does but gives twitter a license to use them...

20. Thanks!

3. Trump probably wanted a cut and didn't get it.

[Pachamama]

4. Too bad...I thought that was a great idea

It still can be sold through other channels..

[moonscape]

18. It's hard to find refuge from 45 - my home at least

should be one - not counting when I willingly allow in news of course.

The last thing I want is to see him in my bathroom! If someone gave me this I'd personally drive it to the dump in brown paper wrapper.

I'd be in favor of making his image illegal

5. Are they still selling Ann Coulter's book?

[Xipe Totec]

6. Who wants to use TP that's already full of it anyway? nt

[Sgent]

7. It has nothing to do with disrespect

it has to do with copyright (although I think fair use would apply). There are still plenty of Trump pictured toilet paper.

10. Pictures of tRump

are the LAST thinh I want in y house, even in the bathroom. He is so ugly, repulsive in every way. Even having money (supposing he really does) will not make him more attractive. He looks as though he fell out of the ugly tree, hitting every branch on the way down. Brain damaged, too.

[Raven]

8. I have a George W. Bush toilet brush.:-)

[Scarsdale]

11. Send it back,

he might need it for his "paintings"! Therapy class does not seem to be helping.

[Towlie]

9. I agree, toilet paper deserves more respect. Think what life would be like without it.

[Gore1FL]

12. They were disrespectful when he tweeted them.

Reprinting them is merely informational.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Trump has disrespected 100 years of bipartisan public policy

Amazon is OFF my list. They cancelled an order on me recently, after 2 weeks, and I at least am convinced
they cannot deliver consistently. Not that I ever did business with them very often.

14. Disrepecting the Pussy-Grabber? My sides!

[crazycatlady]

15. There used to be anti Bush TP

It said things like Bush Wipe, Dick Wipe, etc.

[Blue Owl]

19. I guess human feces is too good for Trump's tweets

[betsuni]

21. Using Trump toilet paper after peeing -- too much like helping Trump grab me by the pussy.

After number 2, fine.
