Donald Trump cologne on clearance at TJMaxx -- the end of an era

Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially declaring an end to the comeback of Donald Trump. The signs have been there for awhile: rampant overexposure, a feud with Rosie O'Donnell, declining ratings on "The Apprentice," a falling stock price on Trump Entertainment Resorts (NASDAQ: TRMP), a terrible book with the clown of personal finance, Robert Kiyosaki, and an appearance on World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE: WWE).

But now it's all over. I stumbled upon Donald Trump's much-hyped cologne "Trump: The Fragrance" at Marshalls -- but it wasn't just at TJMaxx (NYSE: TJX). It was on clearance at Marshalls: $8 a bottle, way, way below its suggested retail price of $48.

I was going to get it for my dad as a gag gift (the one person I know who can stand Trump less than I can), but decided to save the money. When I told my dad about it, his reaction is a pretty good indicator of why the cologne was obviously a huge flop. Here's what he said:

If I want to smell like Donald Trump, I'll save the $8 and go roll around in dog crap.

Amen dad.

RE: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially declaring an end to the comeback of Donald Trump."

- TRUMP IS DIRTY MONEY investigate his background and you discover this man is MAFIA all the way. His ill gotten gains were at the disposal of others. His corruption is well known dating back to his father.

- Who would be stupid enough to buy his products or invest in anything TRUMP has to offer.

THE COLOGNE IS TERRIBLE, IT'S WORTH MORE THAN TRUMP ENT STOCK. AMAZING ISN'T IT.
OVEREXPOSED, MR. TRUMP IS "SO YESTERDAY!"

He needs to leave gaming business and concentrate on what he knows best: REAL ESTATE.

dump trump stock, it will hit a dollar soon, by News Years, it will be ONE WHOLE DOLLAR.
