Brothers Jake and Logan Paul are willing to spend a whopping $12M for the hat former President Donald Trump was wearing when he survived an assassination attempt, but it’s not for sale.
However, the shooter did kill a firefighter attending the event. The would-be assassin, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was taken down by a counter-sniper.
During an episode of theIMPAULSIVEpodcast, Jake and Logan Paul, who are both avid supporters of Trump, expressed interest in buying the hat the presidential candidate was wearing during the shooting.
“$2M for the hat he was wearing during the attempted assassination and my full endorsement,”Logansaid. “Not that he needs it, but that’s my offer.”
Not to be outdone,Jakecountered with a $3M offer, instantly leading Logan to push for $4M, Jake to counter with $5M, and Logan to once again raise the price to $6M.

“I legitimately would pay, with the current money I have now, my max would be $12M,” Jake admitted.
Logan opted to “go halfsies” on the hat and urged his brother to “cheekily” ask Trump who has the hat and what he’s doing with it if the two were to link up.
However, ‘The Maverick’ also revealed that he had already asked Trump himself for the hat, and it simply wasn’t for sale. “They’re not prepared to sell it. That is a family heirloom. Why the f**k would they sell that to us?”
