“‘Omg super cute!!’” one X user wrote.

“I never considered wearing merchandise representing a government agency before, but…” another fan commented, pointing at the billionaire's peculiar way of making government branding appealing.

“What a time to be alive!!” a third user chimed in.

“I need that T-shirt and Hoodie, in my life. #Link to merchandise page, in the near future?” one netizen stated.
