A large store in Tennessee that exclusively sells President Donald Trump merchandise is closing, and it is due to a lack of shoppers.
The store is located along Interstate 40 near Knoxville, Tennessee and its exterior has massive Trump billboard, banners, and a brick outhouse labelled the “Democrat Superstore” make clear what kind of goods the shop is slinging.
But now the shop is selling off its remaining inventory at a 50 percent discount, Slate reports. It’s going out of business, and its owner, identified as William 'Bill" Hays, admitted the closure is due to lack of customers.
I popped in to one of these Trump stores for a look prior to the election while I was visiting doing a road trip through some states
The shit was expensive and cheaply made, the owner was reacting to recorded news interviews playing on screens as if they were live
Very obviously a grift
Thanks, I have a new version of hell to fear now.
Is it weird I read the headline and was a little bit disappointed that someone milking these idiots for all they are worth was going out of business?
How did they even stay in business this long? I hope they were losing money every month.
I used to live nearby, it always seemed empty whenever we drove by, every time. I dunno how it survived, I think the owner must have had money to burn because they always had a rotation of nice classic cars parked outside. Knew it must have been the owner’s though because it was the same rotation of 5 or so.
Honestly, the dumbasses that would buy this stuff and plaster it on their bodies, their houses, their vehicles…thought they were “owning the libs” with it.
I mostly just shake my head and pity them. Every time I see some gigantic truck acting as a penile compensation device, plastered with gun-nut decals and Trump regalia, I think of it as just another example of The Tribe That Rubs Shit In Their Hair…in-group signaling to other hopeless tribe members.

In another few years it’s going to be just like Iraq and Afghanistan. All those people who endlessly supported the war will suddenly go quiet and blend in, pretending they never supported such disastrous interventions – and of course, never admit they were wrong.
Suddenly you won’t be able to ever find someone who admits to having been a Trump supporter.
I supported both wars and I was wrong. I nearly joined the Air Force myself. I really believed they did have WMDs in Iraq, and that Afghanistan was deliberately sheltering bin Laden.
I wish I could say one big thing changed my mind and I was wrong for some good reason. But I can’t even point to anything that the handful of radicals hadn’t already told me in person. I just slowly learned more about the world.
Much respect to you! Takes equal parts critical-thinking and humility to introspect and evolve like that.

You’re not making lists?
There’s a guy in my area selling Temu-quality Trump merch on the side of the highway, out of what I’m pretty sure used to be one of those water pistol games you see at carnivals and state fairs, with all that hardware ripped out.
I’ve passed by it on the way to and from work for years now, and never once have I seen a customer.
Its easier to peacock to own the libs when you’re not in power. Now that they are, its harder to be reactionary.
Maybe they should have switched to selling boat flags. Like every boat in Florida has one of those trump flags.
we all want to forget about his crooked ass and someday we will
Good.
Play stupid games…
I just noticed something about myself: every time I see that orange turd I wonder if his diaper was full or empty when the pic was taken.
I can just hear this guy. "The gurl who said thaaat didnt know what she wus talkin bout. "
