YES YOU CAN Support Obama’s Hideous Vanity Complex With These Inspiring Gift Shop Items.

The Barack Obama Presidential Center won’t be open to the public for another few weeks, but the gift shop is already up and running. All proceeds will support the Obama Foundation and its mission to “inspire, empower, and connect people to change their world.” The foundation is also responsible for funding and operating the new presidential center, which has been described as a “hideous eyesore” befitting the colossal vanity of a tinpot dictator.

So, what are you waiting for? You can help fund Obama’s brutalist monstrosity right now by purchasing some of the inspiring items for sale on the center’s website.

This gorgeous lapel pin ($30) This “unique accessory” was designed by Sameera Chukkapalli Holmes, a former NYU professor of ethical leadership and an architect who specializes in sustainability and social equity. It allegedly represents the “intersection of bold design and global leadership.”

The New York Post adds that “Many weren’t impressed with the pricey pins — with some comparing them to chewing gum, pregnancy tests and blobs of toothpaste. ‘It looks like chewed gum or an eraser that a third grader has been mutilating,’ one user on X wrote.” Wow, that’s just churlish, and rude. Why, it’s as if a Murdoch-owned publication has a grudge with the Lightworker.

And vice-versa:
