An Unfortunate Mishap in Congressional Protest Planning
What was supposed to be a bold statement against former President Donald Trump turned into an absolute logistical nightmare for Congressional Democrats Tuesday night when they mistakenly placed a bulk order for 10,000 “Liar” signs directly from Trump’s official merchandise store. The purchase, which sources confirm was accidentally expedited with same-day shipping, has reportedly left the Democratic Party with a hefty invoice, a truckload of unwanted protest materials, and an inbox flooded with “Thank You for Your Order!” emails from the Trump campaign.
‘Liar’ Signs for Days
The chaos unfolded as Democrats, eager to make a visual statement during Trump’s joint session address, scrambled to print out signs in advance. Unfortunately, in their rush, a staffer conducting a “quick bulk order” failed to notice the website they were purchasing from—Trump’s own online store.
“We thought we were buying from a reputable protest supply vendor,” said an anonymous Democratic aide, frantically stuffing signs into a shredder. “Turns out, we funded next week’s MAGA rally instead.”
The signs, which were meant to be an independent protest effort, arrived in massive boxes stamped with the Trump campaign logo, each containing a personalized thank-you note from Trump himself, reading: ‘Best purchase ever! Keep up the great work. – Donald’
Trump Capitalizes on the Moment
Trump wasted no time acknowledging the mishap.
“The Democrats LOVE our merchandise! They just ordered 10,000 signs from my store, FOLKS. Amazing! Bigly great taste! Hope they got the MAGA bundle deal—comes with a hat!” Trump posted on Truth Social, alongside a screenshot of the massive order confirmation email.
Moments later, the Trump campaign added a new promotional banner to their site: “As Seen in Congress! Get Your Official LIAR Sign Today!”
House Democrats Caught in an Embarrassing Loop
The situation escalated further when attempts to cancel the order were met with technical difficulties, allegedly because the Democratic staffer had also signed up for a Trump Merchandise Loyalty Rewards Account by accident. This locked them into automatic recurring monthly orders of pro-Trump gear, which, as of today, includes 50 embroidered “Let’s Go Brandon” beanies and a commemorative Trump gold coin.
“It’s a disaster,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, who was seen stuffing signs into a recycling bin behind the Capitol. “We have more ‘LIAR’ signs than we have members in Congress. And worst of all—Trump gets a percentage of every sale.”
What’s Next?
To minimize further embarrassment, Democratic leaders are now considering alternative uses for the signs. Proposed ideas include flipping them over and writing “NOT US” on the back, repurposing them as placemats for next week’s caucus luncheon, or quietly listing them on eBay to recoup their costs.
Meanwhile, Trump has reportedly ordered another 50,000 “Liar” signs to keep up with the new demand, ensuring that no matter how much Democrats protest, their message will always be framed—literally—by his campaign.
