<p>MSNBC&#8217;s Lawrence O&#8217;Donnell called the nation&#8217;s attention to the fact that while people are dying in Houston, Donald Trump used the tragedy of Hurricane Harvey to sell hats.</p>
<p>Video:</p>
<p><iframe src='http://player.theplatform.com/p/7wvmTC/MSNBCEmbeddedOffSite?guid=n_lw_atrumpharvey_170829' height='500' width='635' scrolling='no' border='no' ></iframe></p>
<p>O&#8217;Donnell said, &#8220;If you think the President was undignified, then you might also want to think about what the President was wearing. That hat is for sale on a Trump website, so the President used today&#8217;s hurricane coverage to promote Trump merchandise. Just like he uses the presidency every day to promote all things Trump that have a price tag on them hotel rooms, restaurants, golf courses. That hat is for sale on the President&#8217;s campaign website. The forty dollars that you send to the campaign to buy that hat will be used to pay for some of the costs of Donald Trump&#8217;s next rally, or it can be used to pay for Donald Trump&#8217;s criminal defense lawyers who are representing him in the special prosecutor&#8217;s investigation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump has been using all of the hurricane coverage to sell hats. He made sure that<a href="http://www.politicususa.com/2017/08/27/trump-profit-hurricane-harvey-presidency-sell-hats.html"> he was photographed on both Saturday and Sunday</a> wearing hats that are for sale on his website.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.politicususa.com/2017/08/29/trump-trip-texas-hurricane-disaster-sell-baseball-caps.html">When Trump left for Texas on Tuesday morning, he was sure to have a hat with him, but not to wear it, because he didn&#8217;t want to damage the merchandise before the TV cameras were on him. </a></p>

<p>Donald Trump didn&#8217;t touch a single hurricane survivor on his trip to Texas. There were no hugs or reassuring words of empathy. Trump went to Texas to brag about his crowd size and sell hats.</p>
<p>Trump is treating the presidency like a four-year infomercial, where his primary goal is not to govern but to get richer by moving as much Trump merchandise as possible.</p>
