I'm embarrassed about this thread. However, please try to see how someone could jump to a conclusion like this. If I had to describe the original post to someone, I believe they would also think that it had political intent. Maybe it's because our (friend's, family, co-workers and basically almost everyone I interact with in real life) minds were blown the day after your U.S. election. To us, it's one of the craziest things that's happened during our lifetime. So the president's last name has a bit of a stigma. A retailer decided to promote a felt using this unfortunate (to me) promo code and I mistook it for a weird political angle.
I think bumping the thread is contributing to it's derailment. In hindsight, I should have been the bigger person and just not commented originally.
