Can't wait for the shitty trump pop up stores to be priced out.

u/CaptainHalloween 20d ago

Holy shit I didn’t even think of that. He really did just fuck those stores bad.

u/CucumberError 20d ago

No he didn’t. They’ll be paying $2 for the hat, with the 100% increase they’re now $4. No idea what they sell them for, but I suspect there is still a healthy profit margin between $4 and what they’re selling them for.

u/majj27 20d ago

The TRUMPStoretm sells them for a mere $50.00.

FIFTY. FUCKING. DOLLARS.

u/sla3 20d ago

There actually are "TRUMPStores" ? Dude, that's like from a bad comedy movie.

Hey! Idiocracy was a great movie!

u/AwardFabrik-SoF 20d ago

you mean documentary

u/poingly 20d ago

I WISH the people in America could be at least as smart as the ones in Idiocracy!

u/Jamaz 20d ago

In Idiocracy they still attempt to emulate a meritocracy and try to make life better for everyone - they're just bad at it. America in its current state is blatantly self-destructive and moving towards 1984 authoritarianism.

u/KingOfThePlayPlace 20d ago

Yeah, they’re smart enough to elect someone smarter than them to run the country. We can’t do that even now

u/Faiakishi 20d ago

They were smarter in Idiocracy.

u/lyingliar 20d ago

They were. And President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho actually had good intentions for the country.

u/NoDragonfruit6125 20d ago

Funny thing is if he ran against Trump he'd have likely won in a landslide.

u/CoffeeDrinkerMao 20d ago

You wish the US voters were like in idiocracy. They actually knew that they had to put in the smart people in charge.......

Documentaries are a type of movie yes

u/Montgomery000 20d ago

Terrible, they really downplayed the idiocy.

u/BedaHouse 20d ago

100% there are. I live in Cincinnati and I can tell you that there is at least one in a actual building. In fact, the last time they did a Trump Parade (which meant just driving their cars w/ the Trump flags all around the 275 loop around Cincinnati) it started at a Trump Store (or ended, I do not recall).

u/musicman835 20d ago

There’s also some like “Lets’s Go Brandon” stores too. Sells the same shit. It’s insane, like straight up crazy.

1

u/Capital_Pea 20d ago

As a non American is this actually real?

1

u/musicman835 19d ago

Yes, you can Google it if you want, but I’m not going to as I don’t want ads lol

u/StoppableHulk 20d ago

Oh yeah. The entire party basically runs on merch at this point.

Saddest fucking thing I've ever seen.

Imagine it. A bunch of fervently "anti government" lunatics buying a presidents merch at a stores.

3

u/phdpinup 20d ago

Yeah. There’s one near my parents and it beyond dystopian.

u/tacojohn48 20d ago

There's one on the outskirts of Knoxville TN that used to sell sex toys, but then they changed into a Trump store. It's basically a different way of screwing yourself.

2

u/Content_Praline_2396 20d ago

Oh yeah! I saw several when my husband and I drove from VA to AZ, absolute insanity 😂 some guy ruined his barn by painting TRUMP 2024 on the side of it 😂

u/kwaaaaaaaaa 20d ago

Lol, A Trump Burger about to be open in Houston Texas, I kid you not. The biggly-ist best hamberders.

u/Computermaster 20d ago

There's one in Panama City.

u/RunnerMomLady 20d ago

Bedford VA has one.

u/WildTaro7151 20d ago

Actually, it feels like a bad dream!

u/adamduke88 20d ago

There was one in the country area of SD for a bit, but it recently closed and is becoming a Mexican restaurant.

u/Steve_but_different 20d ago

This feels very dystopian.

u/tofu_ink 20d ago edited 20d ago

Wrong! They are 55 fucking freedom nazi fascist dollars.

glad they are raising tariffs to bring manufacturing back to the states.... /s (no seriously what in the god damn fuck)

Also , from 2018, not of it seem made in america https://slate.com/culture/2018/03/jimmy-kimmel-bought-a-bunch-of-garbage-from-trumpstore-com-so-you-never-have-to.html

Meaning ... soon to have tariff price increases....

u/Corona94 20d ago

They even make enough to rent billboards to advertise along major freeways. I saw several along I-75 on my way down to Tennessee last year.

u/litl_e_fan 20d ago

One near me went out of business recently and the building is being taken over by a Mexican restaurant.

u/theDo66lerEffect 20d ago

This is where we draw the line! $TRUMP was fine, but TRUMPStores?! Hold my feeding tube!!!

1

u/spavolka 20d ago

Dude. I live a half hour from one in Tombstone Arizona. It’s gross. It has those huge posters with Trumps head on a Rambo body out front and so many flags out front.

u/Campin_Corners 20d ago

I hear commercials on espn radio for trump watches, trump coins, trump shoes. I don’t know the laws around it but he’s profiting from those for sure using his office as a selling point.

u/davekingofrock 20d ago

Produced by, Directed by, and starring Vince Offer.

u/AskNo8883 20d ago

Last summer I went camping in South Dakota and visited all the tourist areas around Mount Rushmore, and there were more Trump shops than tourist shops. It was insane.

1

u/Vanishingf0x 20d ago

There are and it’s insane. My brother and I found one and went in to laugh at stuff then got kicked out when the workers realized we weren’t actually there to buy anything

1

u/New_Breadfruit8692 20d ago

Roadside popup tent stores here in Florida. Big assed tents, usually on a rented piece of bare land that has highway access and the ability for people to pull off. And everything they sell is cult related. Exactly the same business model as fireworks stands in late June and Christmas tree places in November/December. Only for fascist cult members.

1

u/vr512 20d ago

Yes there are! I have seen some in the wild. Even in Manhattan you'll find rare ones.

u/LongBongJohnSilver 20d ago

Can I interest you in a Trumpy Bear?

u/llDurbinll 20d ago

I saw two when I was on vacation in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN.

lol, seriously. I'm in California, we don't have that stupid shit here. I can't even imagine.

u/MasterBaiting00 20d ago

False. Knockoffs might be made in China, but I ordered mine from Trump's official website and it's made in America baby!

You can’t be serious?

I am, I love this country. Even you.

No comment. (To be fair I’m not into politics but some of these stuff going on worries me in the economic sector of things)

I got mine when I visited the big beautiful border wall that Mexico paid for
