Autographed Trump Hats and Books Sold on His Website Were Signed by Machine
Steve Grad, an authenticator interviewed by ABC,says he has "a low opinion of how the Trump campaign marketed the hats".
A man who bought the hats regrets buying them because he didn't know the true story.
The misleading claim was also made in the advertising of a special edition of the book "The Art of the Deal".
Grad said he has "seen signatures of Trump's before that have failed authentication", including ones on items sold in "the gift shops of his own hotels." He said that "the general public is not even aware of what an autopen is".
