Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has sent out an email Thursday offering “Let’s Go Brandon” T-shirts for $45 or more.
“You’ve probably heard it being chanted anywhere patriotic Americans get together. Well now, President Trump has put America’s favorite new phrase on a custom shirt. That’s right. President Trump has just authorized the release of his brand-new, limited-edition ‘LET’S GO BRANDON’ shirts,” Trump says in an email to his supporters. He then tells them to pay $45 or more to receive the T-shirt.
Trump goes on to say that the T-shirt is in “high demand,” and is stated in the email as being “low stock.” The email advertises it by stating, “Whether you’re at a concert, football game, or just out for a walk in the park, you’re probably going to hear someone say ‘LET’S GO BRANDON.’ Now you can have a shirt to match.”
The phrase “let’s go Brandon”, which has gone viral in conservative circles, first came into popularity at a NASCAR race in Alabama, according to ABC 4. It was initially used in reference to NASCAR driver Brandon Brown, but when people chant or type “Brandon,” they are not usually actually cheering for the NASCAR racer, according to ABC 4.
Don't Miss
The phrase went viral after Brown was interviewed by Kelli Stavas. In the background of the interview, the crowd in the stands was chanting a political statement: “f— Joe Biden,” ABC 4 reports.
However, according to ABC 4, that was not what Kelli Stavas heard.
“As you can hear the chants from the crowd — ‘Let’s go, Brandon,’” Stavas incorrectly stated while speaking with Brown, ABC 4 reports.
Since then, the meme has taken off, spreading across social media, especially among Trump fans.
Of course, Trump would not miss an opportunity to make money from it.
