Say what you will about Trump: the man never misses an opportunity to use a national tragedy for personal gain.
Three times in the past two days,phim sez an do the president has been spotted wearing his campaign's own "USA" hat while in public settings. Trump has come under fire for turning the Texas emergency into a fundraising opportunity for his war chest.
SEE ALSO: Trump sends out fundraising email in middle of Texas emergency because *bangs head on desk*The USA hat in question is currently available for $40 on Trump's campaign website.
While some see it as a way for him to express his patriotism, for many Trump's choice has crossed yet another ethical boundary: the president shouldn't be taking advantage of a natural disaster to promote his personal brand.

Walter Shaub, the former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics who resigned before he could spontaneously combust, had this to say:
The presser would be more convincing if POTUS weren't wearing merch touted as the hat “worn by 45thPresident-Elect Donald J. Trump, himself” pic.twitter.com/kbv0KFvaS9

Some speculated that it was just a matter of time before Melania's hat appeared on the website as well.
