Yes, Trumpy Bear is a real product. A ridiculous commercial first was posted to YouTube in July 2017 and it recently became viral once again. On Monday, November 12, the Trumpy Bear official commercial was making the rounds and became a top five trend on Twitter in the United States.
Because of the over-the-top commercial promoting the product, many believed it was not real.
Well, they were wrong.
Snopes stepped in to settle the question on whether the product is an actual thing and it turns out that Texas-based company Exceptional Products really is selling the plush bear that features President Donald Trump’s signature hair and red tie. And hey, it’s only $39.90.
“The fearless, super-plush American grizzly,” the commercial describes the product as. “Even the toughest guys will love Trumpy Bear.”
As an added bonus, Trumpy Bear comes with “a 28-by-30-inch American flag blanket that can be stored in a zipped pouch inside Trumpy Bear himself.”
Here’s the ad.

From Snopes.com:
Trumpy Bear is real. The commercial is real, not a spoof (although some moments appear to have been written with tongue firmly in cheek). And the bear itself is a real product available for purchase.
Exceptional Products, the Texas company that markets Trumpy Bear on television, also uses infomercials and television advertising to promote products like Hairdini, Save a Blade and Plaque Attack.
The product consists of the 22-inch tall stuffed animal and a 28-by-30-inch American flag blanket that can be stored in a zipped pouch inside Trumpy Bear himself, according to the product web site. Trumpy Bear costs $39.90, which can be paid in two installments of $19.95.

God bless America and welcome to 2018. Just don’t take your Trumpy Bear out in the rain.
