I've seen at least four that I know of where I live, and I'm sure there's more. They also seem to lack customers. I want to know - where are these coming from? And what purpose do they serve?

(6,797 posts)people on Main Street selling Trump paraphernalia. When I went that way on Sunday it wasn't there. I was hoping they would be there and ask if I want something I would tell them I just bought toilet paper. My bil said he would like to buy a Trump flag and burn it.

(100,059 posts)My MAGA neighbors and former neighbors are very much on the side of Trump and their minds won't be changed. My one former neighbor is giving up his Angels season tickets because we had players who kneeled and painted BLM on the pitcher's mound. You cannot persuade people like that.
In Tennessee and Central Florida. Selling Trump flags, Confederate flag, gadson flags. It is like it is people who have so little to feel good about themselves that they think it is an investment in home improvement to show off a trump flag or something. Same people when would fly a bama flag but never set foot on campus.

(4,516 posts)In a parking lot next to a farmer's market in Leesburg, Va. Two or three guys flying a huge Trump 2020 flag from a pickup truck and selling red hats and other junk.
It was on a scorching hot day a week or so ago - the kind of day when you can practically feel the asphalt melting. There they were, in tanks and shorts sans masks, of course. But no one was paying any attention to them. The town of Leesburg is not exactly Trump country. I think these guys get out there just to thumb their noses at the libs.

(1,206 posts)Just Trump supporters selling cheap stuff to make money - hell, if I lived in a red area I'd open one myself, I'd gladly take MAGAT's money - be awesome to buy a MAGA hat from China for $1.20 and sell it for $25.00 or have idiots pay me to take a photo with a Trump cutout.
In the right area you could make quite a tidy sum.
