"5GW is a war of information and perception"
This means that a Fifth Generation Warfare conflict can be fought and won without a single bullet being fired, or even most of the population knowing that a war is taking place.

That's a fair question. I looked up his campaign merch page and those shirts aren't being sold there. Interesting...
After more digging I eventually found it on an unofficial third party site:
Was Vivek set up!?!
We know that feds disquised as Trump supporters instigated January 6th.
Peperidge farm remembers when leftists infiltrated Trump rallies wearing fake MAGA gear with price tags still attached.
So it's not unthinkable that Birdbrain, Meatball, or their puppet masters might have arranged for that viral photo op to sabotage Vivek.
You can think of it in two ways:
If Vivek was setup with a shitty shirt that be blindly put it on without seeing it, then he has a few marbles short and shouldn’t be President. He’d have the same problem Trump has with relying on people to tell him what to do.
If Vivek knew about the shirt and still put it on without thinking of the consequences (or did and still went through it), then he had a major miscalculation that he has to take full responsibility for.
In either case, if his entire image is destroyed because of a one shirt, then his image was very shaky to begin with and only had a small chance of winning.
