The Controversy Over Trump's Suit Pieces

Donald Trump's campaign is offering pieces of a suit he wore during a debate with Joe Biden as part of a digital trading card promotion, raising questions about this unusual marketing strategy. The discussion centers on how the suit will be divided, priced, and what pieces fans will receive, creating curiosity regarding the perceived value of each garment component.
