Drumpf Merchandise Booths Have Been Appearing In My South Orange County, CA Area The Last Few Weeks

I've seen them in Laguna Hills & Laguna Niguel. They're little canopy structures, set up like a merchandise booth, and they have primarily Drumpf merch, but also USA (Red, White & Blue) stuff and some Harley Davidson merchandise.

They set up outside of the parking lot, it seems like usually along a grassy area next to the sidewalk. I guess technically that's public property, and so long as they're not in the walkway itself, that's fine?

Anyways, I've seen them several times, and I think only once did I see what I assume was a customer there.

Not sure what to make of it. Either a sign of desperation, or simply wanting to get people to buy Drumpf paraphernalia and then display it to let everyone know what a DOUCHEBAG you are.

I have seen 2 or 3 Biden stickers on vehicles though, and can't actually say I've seen a lot of Drumpf stickers at this point. Will definitely keep an eye on this over the next 53 days.

it is probably some person who knows a fool and his money are soon parted, that bought a bunch of hats for $15 each and is going to resell them all for $30 each.

The guy is there every day. Sort of embarrassing. What’s with the American flag in blue and black?

Likely laundering the campaign money

Same observation. Never a buyer just an employee. Or possibly some ignorant volunteer

I did try to get a neighbor to run down and take a pic of me in my Flush the Turd November 3rd hat but he wasn’t home

Finally they had competing pop ups last Saturday at the Lowe’s in RSM. Team Biden got the better spot before the turn in. A lot Biden honks turned into tRump boos.

Cool, I'll definitely keep an eye out for one of those. Not sure I'd buy a whole lot, but it would be nice to chat with a fellow traveler.

Put in trump merchandise booths orange county

Came up with lots of articles from various papers talking about the booths. Looks like it's going on in other parts of the O.C., San Diego, and Florida as well. Seems to have started in late June.

Here's one http://theliberaloc.com/2020/07/10/trump-pop-ups-what-you-need-to-know/comment-page-1/

in northeast Houston area. The fuckers were even selling a flag that was half American flag and half confederate flag. I wanted to plow my car right through that pile of shit.
