38% Approval Rating Mug – Designed by Bob Eckstein

A Commemorative Cup for Historically Low Standards

For those who like their coffee strong and their satire stronger: the 38% Approval Rating Mug, courtesy of cartoonist Bob Eckstein, delivers a steaming hot cup of American disillusionment—with a glossy finish.

This ceramic truth bomb is ideal for political junkies, cable news casualties, and anyone who knows that 38% is less a mandate and more a personality disorder. The sharp black-and-white design adds punch to every pour, whether you’re caffeinating before a morning meeting or debriefing the latest televised meltdown.

Pair it with existential dread and a pastry. Or give it to your favorite journalist, former campaign staffer, or uncle who still calls them “facts.”
