Artifact Overview

Just as the teddy bear was inspired by a tale about President Theodore Roosevelt, Trumpy Bear was designed to honor President Trump. Featuring his iconic hair, dressed in a suit, and with a secret compartment containing an American flag blanket, Trumpy Bear was for some an homage to a patriotic president, and for others an odd "as-seen-on-TV" novelty.
