This T-Shirt Design Is Selling Like CRAZY- But Why? Is It Safe?

About this video

(Summary based on the Bengali caption track.) The creator discusses a trending political t-shirt niche built around Donald Trump’s viral mugshot and whether it is safe for Merch by Amazon. He says yes, but with caution: Amazon is now strict on hate speech and on designs that demean a current or future president, and reviews may involve humans rather than only the usual rejection bot. Using Merch Informer / Merch Hunter, he shows mugshot designs he says are not using the real mugshot but recreations, with BSR falling from about 500 that morning toward 200-290, which he interprets as fast sales and, in his estimate, possibly $200 to $300 a day. One shirt is priced at $24.99 and still selling, he says. He explains his understanding that designing around someone is safer while they are running for president in 2024 and are a public figure, and more confusing/less safe after, so sellers who do not understand the rules should not risk their account and could sell via their own Shopify/WordPress site instead. He also points to TikTok research and sellers printing their own shirts, citing one store selling a t-shirt for $33 and a hoodie for $69.

Key takeaways

• Creator says the Trump mugshot political niche is trending, with a top design’s BSR dropping from about 500 toward 200-290
• Amazon is described as strict on hate speech and on wording that demeans a president or candidate — wording matters for rejection risk
• Creator’s understanding: designs around 2024 presidential candidates/public figures are safer while they are running, and less clear after they leave office
• Highlighted design was priced at $24.99 and, in the creator’s estimate, possibly selling $200-$300 per day
• If unsure of the rules, do not risk a Merch by Amazon account — sell through your own Shopify/WordPress site and learn the process instead
