Would this be a good gift?

So, I’ve got this male friend who I’ve gotten pretty close to over the last several months. I thought it would be a nice little gesture to get him a small gift, you know just so he knew that I thought of him. He’s in the army, (stateside) and is very much into politics. Like it’s one of his favorite topics to bring up. So I thought a nice little humorous political mug off of Etsy would make a good little gift for him, but then I started second guessing myself about it. What do you guys think? Good idea or bad idea?
