A travel company is giving away Donald Trump stress balls to people who book a holiday to Mexico in protest at the US President’s “damaging” rhethoric.
Booking platform and smartphon app TRVL has 1,000 squishy balls with the US President’s face on them to give away to users who book a hotel in Mexico.
The travel company wants to reward travellers that visit Mexico, in spite of the “derogatory and frightening” language that is being directed towards America’s southern neighbour. “According to Mr Trump, Mexico is full of ‘Bad Hombres,’” said TRVL.
“We’re running a travel company because we believe that travel makes you more openminded and understanding, and that travel makes the world a better place,” said TRVL founder Jochem Wijnands.
“Mr Trump is doing the exact opposite, he’s polarising the world. We are speaking out for our values and beliefs.”
The promotion runs until TRVL has run out of stress balls.
The US government is at an impasse, now into its second month, over funding for Trump’s border wall.
