“Trump wore the hat on his visit to the southern border, and it became the hottest thing on the internet.” Kushner writes in his memoir. “The demand was so incredible that I worked with Amanda [head of marketing] to create an online store, where we started selling roughly $8,000 in hats per day.”

Kushner said that there was such a high demand for the hats that knockoffs started to become popular, which led Trump’s campaign team spending $10,000 per hour marketing the hats through Facebook.
“Soon we increased online hat sales tenfold from $8,000 to $80,000 per day, which funded most of the campaign’s overhead costs,” Kushner adds.
Kushner’s estimations are correct. This means that Trump’s campaign made $29.2 million in just one year of selling hats. However, it is not known how much the hats were manufactured.
