 President Theodore Roosevelt was so impactful that the teddy bear was named after him. Well, move over Teddy -- here comes Trumpy. 
 
 Yes. Along with Trump Steaks, Trump University and Trump Vodka, there is now the Trumpy Bear -- basically a teddy bear with Donald Trump's signature, um, hair, along with a tie, a collar and shirt cuffs. There's a "secret" pouch with an American flag blanket inside, and you even get a certificate of authenticity so you know you've getting the real deal and not some cheap knockoff. Trumpy Bear can be yours for a cool $39.90 plus $6.95 for shipping. What a deal! 
 
 And yes, this is real. 
 
 An advertisement for Trumpy Bear reportedly ran on Fox News on Monday, and it kind of plays like a skit you would see on "Saturday Night Live." But this is no joke. The internet unsurprisingly had a field day with the product and its comical ad. Evidently, some people really want a Trumpy Bear, and some people really don't. Turns out the bear is just as polarizing as the man he's named after. 

 Americans tuning into Fox & Friends Monday morning may have borne witness to a commercial for a product called the “Trumpy Bear,” a stuffed bear with a white collar, white cuffs, red tie and Trump’s “trademark” coif. You can also pull an American flag out of the bear’s ass. 
 
 “God bless America, and God bless Trumpy Bear,” declares an elderly woman holding the bear in front of an inflatable American flag. The setting is appropriate. Trumpy Bear was “born” on Flag Day.

 Trumpy Bear is loved by all. Michael Ruffino, a former Marine, is proud to carry Trumpy Bear on the handlebars of his motorcycle. Golfers save it a seat in their carts. “Even the toughest guys will love Trumpy Bear,” the comically baritone voice narrating the commercial assures skeptical viewers. Trumpy Bear even comes with a certificate of authenticity that “confirms you own an original Trumpy Bear” and not a cheap imitation. It can be had for only two payments of $19.95, plus shipping and handling. Groceries can wait, patriots. 
 
 Trumpy Bear has been around since 2017, and the commercial that aired Monday morning on Fox News — which clarified in a statement that the ad was local and that the network does not do business with Trumpy Bear’s manufacturer nationally — is a shortened version of the original. In addition to veterans and golfers, the extended cut also features testimonials from law enforcement officers, firefighters, small business owners and others. “American industry once ruled the world, and now we’re back on track again,” says a construction worker. “Thanks, Trumpy Bear.”

 It’s difficult to tell whether the over-the-top Trumpy Bear commercials are intentionally ludicrous, sincere appeals to Trump’s base or both. Rolling Stone emailed the manufacturer in search of sales numbers, but has yet to hear back. The 22-inch-tall bear has been spotted at at least one of the president’s rallies, though, which means someone has to be buying it. 
 
 This shouldn’t be surprising. No president has enjoyed such a devoted fanbase as Trump, and, as a result, his presidency has been commodified to no end, often by companies like Trumpy Bear producer Exceptional Products, and often by the president himself. When Vice President Mike Pence outlined the administration’s plans for a Space Force in August, the Trump campaign released potential logo designs hours later. One was the NASA logo, but different colors. Another promised that “Mars Awaits,” even though the Space Force would play no role in a potential mission to the Red Planet. The campaign’s online gift shop is currently selling Space Force T-shirts for $30, alongside Trump football jerseys, novelty coffee mugs, dog leashes, megaphones and more. 
 
 The front page of the campaign gift shop asks visitors if they’re looking for a gift, and it’s indeed the impending holiday season that has brought Trumpy Bear back into Fox News’ commercial rotation. But to the #MAGA contingent, the holiday season is not just the holiday season; it’s yet another frontier of the War on Christmas, and the president’s supporters need to show on which side their allegiance lies. What better way let friends and relatives know than a tree ornament bearing the president’s orange face. No occasion too sacred to be enhanced by the president’s likeness. Consider this ornament Rolling Stone Politics Editor John Hendrickson spotted at a gift shop in Washington, D.C.’s Union Station last month: 
 
 The Trump campaign’s online store and that of the White House are chocked full of official “45” memorabilia, but there’s also plenty of kitsch out there from third-party dealers like Exceptional Products, which calls on its website for people with hot new ideas to send them to NewIdeas@sellontv.com for consideration. Having no direct affiliation to the president, we’re going to go ahead and assume that while watching Fox & Friends Monday morning, Trump saw the ad for the Trumpy Bear, turned his head to someone who wasn’t there and groused about how he should be getting paid for its sales. No president has been treated so unfairly.

– A commercial that ran on Fox News Monday night for "Trumpy Bear" had some wondering if it was a joke, but the teddy bear featuring President Trump's distinctive hairdo and signature red power tie is in fact a real thing. You can order it at GetTrumpyBear.com for just two easy payments of $19.95 plus $6.95 shipping and handling, NJ.com reports. The "limited-edition collectible" plush 22-inch bear includes a secret pouch holding an American flag blanket, plus a certificate of authenticity, and the website promises this "piece of American history" is "great for all American holidays," will "show your patriotism," and is "soft and comfy" to boot. Snopes fact-checked the product and assures readers it is in fact real, and Rolling Stone notes it's actually been available since last year. What's not clear: whether the ad is sincere, purposely tongue-in-cheek, or both. As for some noticing it airing on local Fox stations, Fox News Senior Vice President of Eastern Sales Dom Rossi explains through a rep that "this was a local ad purchase with the cable operator. We do not do business with them nationally." (Trump once spent $20,000 of charity funds on a portrait of himself.)
