GOP primary challenger Joe Walsh is trying to mark his mark on the presidential race. But once again,
President Trump has beat him to it.On Friday, Walsh attempted to zing Trump by launching a new product in his campaign store: A black Sharpie that reads "Don't Lie," as if it's an instruction to Trump. But Trump's campaign manager Brad Parscale beat him to punch, unveiling an "official Donald Trump" marker reminiscent of the one Trump seemingly used to mark up a
Hurricane map just a few hours before Walsh debuted his own.The marker business started as Trump spent the past few days claiming that Hurricane Dorian was eventually, somehow going to hit Alabama. Even after official predictions indicated Dorian had shifted north, Trump in a Wednesday video dug out an older map showing it headed for
Alabama — if it continued into an extended bubble The
Washington Post says Trump drew himself. Parscale's tweet noted the media frenzy that surrounded the marker mess, though he of course threw in some Trumpian spin.
Walsh, meanwhile, has an objectively worse deal. Instead of five of Trump's markers for $15, he's offering one big Sharpie for a $25 donation.
