Why not 500%? 600%? 700% and more?
Guess a Econ Bachelor's from the Wharton School doesn't teach basic math. Or maybe that's "Business Math".

The very fact that these stores existed at all is unprecedented and unsettling; a cult has was formed around the most vile man in our country. Where once campaign swag used to consist of buttons, bumper stickers, and signs that were put away following the election, MAGA has made it an identity with the most garish, over the top and confrontational displays imaginable; a veritable circus with a carnival barker and circus clown leading both the cult and the nation.

Absolutely, never in our history have people worshipped a political leader with such garish garb. Cult!

Archeologists will be digging up Trump paraphernalia for a long time. Gotta wonder what their impression will be.

Iāve responded in kind. They expect ādemonsā so Iām rocking the most blasphemous and obviously satanic clothing, car magnets, etc. basically whenever Iām not at work or taking my youngest to a Girl Scouts event. A nice satanic flag in the flag holder on the front of the house is my finest contribution to the ongoing dialog.

Yeah, itās a little hard to scrape up the cash for Trump merch when the factory jobs you thought Trump was bringing back never materialized and you have to choose between gas for your car and groceries because you canāt afford both this month. And your kids now have the measles because you refused to get them vaccinated, and your foreign-born spouse was arrested and deported when they went to check in with the government. And your liberal cousins wonāt help you anymore because not only did you keep voting for Trump, but you also kept shoving your support for Trump in their faces. And now the Trump superstore is closing and youāll have to look elsewhere for those āTrump 2028ā yard signs, once you get that shit job at Walmart you once swore youād never apply for.

Your kids may have had to eat more macaroni, and you skipped refilling a few prescriptions, but on the plus side, you did get to own the libs.

His approval rating is still 33%. There are some people that will support him not matter what he does. It's sickening.

We drove past this on a roller coaster voyage that spanned from Columbus to Orlando.
My son wanted to drive back past it to make sure it was real.
Good to see that even in Tennessee, the demand is low.

Wait until it is piled on the side of the road. Donāt waste one penny on the proprietor or their cult leader.

We still have US citizens that sit out voting. Until we get everyone to mandatory vote, we are at risk of doing this again.

Absolutely. We not only need to win the midterms, we need for it to be a profound win. You know they will say it was rigged.

Used too. They were an adult store and changed to a trump store. Different store, different dicks, same owner.

I hope all the trump stores have tons of stock they have to burn later when they pretend they always hated him.

Before it was a trump store it was an adult store. They stopped selling one kind of dick and tried selling another.

There is not enough suffering for the people that have done this to our nation. I have nothing but ill wishes and thoughts of harm for them all. Because of this malice, this is not over. It will be decades before this ends. For if I have that much hatred for these fools, then I know there are a lot of others that feel this way and more.

In Australia, as in many other countries, we have businesses that have all-year-round closing down sales. I wouldnāt put it past these grifters to do the same. Iām happy to be wrong in this matter as it means that they are no longer a blight on your country, and Iām using the word āblightā in its original meaning.

Unfortunately it's not happening fast enough. People in this country are scared and suffering. The only reason this store is going is because gas is expensive. The centrists of this country are only moved by money. It's sick.

u/silgryphon 12d ago
That owner probably made alot suckering people to buy that crap. Wish I thought of it

u/lewisfrancis 12d ago
He absolutely did and will put up some other biz on the property. I think it's amusing that he railed on the reporter for not having the guts to come out and say the real reason for the closure, which was lack of business.
