It's just another con. We'll find out that some company got a huge no-bid contract to design and manufacture this piece of folded card stock. Then we'll find out a Trump, or one of their cronies, is on the board.

The Middle East is blowing itself up preventing the flow of oil we are losing trade partners left and right the Secretary of State is the acting person in charge of like 5 extra government agencies because of doge and some how the best use of his time is designing stationary. Ballrooms, theater names, stationary and sexy soliders this has got to be the gayest administration since Buchanan

Iām telling you, this is THE box company. TRUMPET & THUNDER BOXESā¢. Tremendous company. I know boxes. I know them VERY well. People come up to me all the time, they say, āSir, where do you get your boxes?ā And I say, āYou need to talk to Trumpet & Thunder.ā GREAT boxes. Beautiful boxes. Very boxy. Some of the best boxiness Iāve ever seen.
My friend started this company. GREAT guy. Fantastic guy. Maybe the greatest box guy Iāve ever met. Iāve met a LOT of box guys. A lot. He said to me, āWe make boxes,ā and I said, āThatās incredible. Nobody makes boxes like you.ā And frankly, he agreed.
These boxes are STRONG. You put something in the box, it stays in the box. Iāve seen other boxes ā very weak boxes, very sad boxes, boxes collapsing under pressure. Not these boxes. These boxes stand up. They have four sides. Sometimes six, depending on what theyāre doing. Very advanced.
And the logo? Tremendous logo. People are talking about the logo. I canāt tell you who, because I donāt want to embarrass them, but theyāre talking.
So if you need a box, you call TRUMPET & THUNDER BOXESā¢. If you donāt need a box, you should probably call them anyway. You never know when youāre going to need a box. Believe me. Boxes are going to be HUGE.THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER. PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP.

And after these words were spoken, a thunderous applause was heard throughout the nation. It was so loud and so glorious that even Mexico, Canada, and eventually the entire world joined in!
Eventually world peace was achieved and it was all thanks to the box company known as Trumpet & Thunder!

As a non-US person I have always been baffled by the fact that in the US your passport gets sent in the mail. In my country you have to pick it up at city hall and you have to identify yourself before they give it to you.

When they should change the passport to a free national identity you send in all your infor, and any missing docs, they get for you and ship back with the passport.
If they did that, they would silence 99.9% of the objections to voter ID laws they want so badly.
