I hope he didn't make too many since no one has any idea how this will turn out for Trump - but we sure know how it turned out for over 200,000 fellow Americans.

It's basically a private campaign store and sells Trump merchandise. (The guy that owns it is a Trump supporter)

Anyways, kind of early in the game to declare victory, I think, for Trump personally. And a huge insult to those that have died or been disabled by this pandemic. Disgusting, but not surprising.

It's full of Trump crap right now (the most reprehensible is the coin celebrating the GOP letting him off on impeachment charges) but next year you'll find plenty of Biden merchandise. (You can still get Obama merchandise there.)
