Trump’s Latest Scent: FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Is It a Perfume or a Punchline?
Leave it to Donald Trump to come up with the perfect name for his latest product. His new cologne line, “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT,” feels like a punch to the nose—literally and figuratively. This isn’t just any fragrance. It’s a full-throttle, in-your-face concoction that somehow pairs the former president’s need for drama with the odd world of high-end perfumes. Is it the scent of a seasoned politician, or something that smells more like a marketing gimmick gone off the rails? Let’s break it down.
Trump’s new venture comes at a time when he’s heavily focused on running for president once again. A new cologne doesn’t seem like the most natural extension of a political comeback. But hey, when you’ve got a brand, you’ve got to milk it, right?
The Name Says It All – FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT
You can’t help but laugh at the boldness of the name. “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!” isn’t just the motto; it’s the essence of the fragrance itself, apparently. Forget notes of jasmine or vanilla. This cologne is said to capture something far more visceral—perhaps the scent of political battle, or the aroma of a frantic press conference. Trump’s marketing genius really shines through here, as the name itself says it all: a call to arms wrapped in a bottle.
But here’s the kicker: the very fragrance of conflict. Will it smell like success or something far less pleasant? As Rivenbark humorously imagines, it’s more likely to resemble the scent of “whatever was pourin’ out of Josh Hawley’s pits” on January 6th. You know, sweaty, anxious, and maybe just a little bit of desperation.
The Packaging: In Your Face, Literally
And then there’s the packaging. Trump, of course, has spared no expense in ensuring that every detail screams “Trump.” Forget delicate, refined bottles with mythical creatures or intricate glasswork. No, this bottle is bold, in-your-face, and bears the image of Trump himself raising his fist. It’s the kind of design that doesn’t just say, “I’m a political leader.” It screams, “I’m here to dominate, whether you like it or not.”
If you’re expecting something subtle, you’re in the wrong market. The packaging is just as bombastic as the name. It’s clear that Trump is not aiming for the high-brow, nuanced fragrance market. Instead, it’s a product for those who like their politics as heavy-handed as their scent.
Marketing Genius or Misstep?
Of course, no product launch would be complete without a bit of Trump-esque marketing. The man knows how to grab attention, and his recent photo op with Jill Biden is a perfect example. Trump managed to sidle up to the First Lady while they were both in Paris, snap a pic, and turn it into a marketing tool. Captioned, “A Fragrance Your Enemies Can’t Resist!” the image is a classic case of Trump using any situation to plug his products.
It’s clear that the whole thing is a bit of a circus. But that’s Trump for you—always turning the spotlight back on himself, whether it’s through politics or perfume. What’s truly comical, though, is Jill Biden’s reaction. Rather than swooning over Trump’s “amazing” scent, she looked more like she was wondering if a garbage truck had just passed by. It’s a visual that perfectly sums up the absurdity of the situation.
A Christmas Gift for the Whole Family?
And here comes the kicker—Trump is marketing this scent as the perfect Christmas gift for the family. The ad copy almost feels like it’s coming from an alternate reality where your little ones ask for nothing more than a bottle of cologne for Christmas. Forget toys and games; forget those other presents you actually want. What’s going to make your holiday season complete is a $199 bottle of FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!
Is this Trump’s attempt to capitalize on the holidays while also raking in cash for his legal fees? Possibly. But for the rest of us, the image of a kid rocking around the Christmas tree with a bottle of Trump’s cologne just seems… off.
Legal Fees and Holiday Cheer: A Perfect Combo?
Let’s face it. Trump has quite the laundry list of legal troubles, and a hefty cologne price tag might be a subtle nod to the fact that he’s got some hefty bills to pay. Of course, it’s not the kids who are forking out the cash for these bottles. It’s their parents, scrambling for any chance at keeping up with the ever-growing list of Trump’s products.
But whether it’s a political stunt, a money grab, or just an attempt to stay relevant, the whole thing feels very on-brand for Trump. The audacity, the boldness, the sheer chutzpah—it’s almost like a cologne made just for him.
