“I do think we have bigger problems than plastic straws,' Trump said last week after his reelection campaign started selling packs of branded reusable plastic straws.
President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is selling 10-packs of branded plastic straws for $15."STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP and buy your pack of recyclable straws today," the website says.
The straws as advertised are nine inches long and bright red — the same shade as Trump's ubiquitous "Make America Great Again" baseball caps — and they're branded with a laser-engraved "TRUMP" on one end. The description touts the straws as being reusable, recyclable, BPA-free and made in America.The Trump campaign did not respond to CNBC's request for comment.
Trump, asked at the White House on Friday if he was in favor of banning plastic straws, said, "I do think we have bigger problems than plastic straws." But he continued: "You know, it's interesting about plastic straws. So, you have a little straw. But what about the plates, the wrappers and everything else that are much bigger and they're made of the same material? So the straws are interesting. Everybody focuses on the straws. There's a lot of other things to focus. But it's an interesting question."
