Donald Trump-printed toilet papers selling fast in the US

A wallpaper company based in east China’s city of Qingdao recently monetized the forthcoming US presidential election by making toilet paper printed with candidates’ faces.


According to the company, toilet papers with Trump's face is outselling that of Hilary Clintons. For every one Clinton toilet paper bought, they would have sold six of Donald Trump. Sold at 5 USD per roll, the Trump-printed toilet paper has sold 5,000 rolls since mid-February.

According to the company, most of the buyers are from the U.S.

The factory, Qingdao Wellpaper, is not the only Chinese company trying to cash in on the presidential election. A search for “Donald Trump toilet paper” on online marketplace Alibaba.com finds more than 75 products, while a search for Clinton-themed toilet tissue reveals just 16 results.

Shoppers can choose from multiple expressions of Trump: smiling, pouting or angrily pointing his finger.

The rolls sell wholesale for about 50 cents each and seem to be primarily purchased by shoppers in the U.S. Similar toilet paper rolls retail on eBay for upwards of $10, though some vendors on the online auction site claim their products are made in the U.S.

One prominent Trump toilet paper purchaser is Sydney Leroux, a forward on the U.S. women’s national soccer team. Leroux posted a picture of the household product on Instagram, noting her husband ordered the rolls because the couple found them “hilarious”.


My husband just ordered a bunch of these to our house. I love him. #amazingtoiletpaper DISCLAIMER: We are the least political people ever we just thought it was hilarious. If I could I would vote for Olivia Pope but I don't even know if she's running this year. Stop commenting about your political beliefs and how you're going to unfollow me now because we apparently don't have the same opinion. A photo posted by Sydney Leroux Dwyer (@sydneyleroux) on May 24, 2016 at 1:01pm PDT
