Controversial apparel being sold on Amazon sported a phrase seemingly wishing death upon former President Donald Trump and his family.
Conservative activist Robby Starbuck announced on X that T-shirts and hoodies emblazoned with the phrase “The Only Good Trump is a Dead One” have been removed from Amazon. But his post came after he had already called out the platform for allowing sales of the products which came soon after an assassination attempt on the former president.
Update: These shirts and hoodies have been removed. Thanks @jeffbezos. Maybe now you can explain why the most watched documentary of the year still hasn’t been approved for Prime Video after waiting for nearly 6 months. The War On Children should be approved. https://t.co/SeVX9HTmXe

“Hey @Amazon @JeffBezos,” Starbuck had written, tagging billionaire Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
“Why are you allowing a shirt to be sold that seems to encourage lunatics to attempt to kill members of the Trump family?” he asked, including a screenshot of the clothing.
Searching further, he found that T-shirts weren’t the only items for sale with the phrase.
Just searched and @Amazon has hoodies too! pic.twitter.com/IgjXgnbKVk

“Seriously@JeffBezos, @Amazon still hasn’t approved our film ‘The War On Children’ for Prime Video 6 months later despite it being the most viewed documentary of the year with nearly 60M views but it approved a vendor named ‘The Only Good Trump Is A Dead One’? Explain that,” Starbuck asked in another post.
NEW: ‘The Only Good Trump Is a Dead One’ apparel is selling on Amazon after Trump was nearly assas*nated in Pennsylvania.
The shop who is selling the apparel appears to have set it up just to sell these three products considering there are no other products.

Social media users reacted to the shocking products, sharing that they had complained to Amazon and discussing the company’s responsibility.
Yet conservatives are the violent ones…..

It’s not their fault. A rogue seller can go on and just post it with Amazon not realizing.

Thanks for the update. I’m glad to see action was taken, I reported “a problem” with all 3 in the App 3-4+ hours ago when I saw it on X. I looked to make sure nothing similar existed for Biden – no such items. There’s no place for that rhetoric in our society!

You can get kicked off X, Youtube and facebood for saying much less. Shame on Amazon!!!

How is this legal?? Isn’t this a call for violence?

Where the hell is the FBI on this??? This is unbelievable. Wonder what would happen if it said BIDEN instead?

Amazon just pulled sale of t shirt saying “The only good Trump is a dead one”. Whoever was selling these shirts should be banned from selling anything on Amazon ever again!
