They have had large signs offering hats and t-shirts for sale. There have been large banners, flags flying and posters all over the front of the building. It looked like Trump Central.
This morning they are all gone. The only thing I could see was a small white sign out by the street that said "Trump 2020 hats" listed with some of the other tool and machinery items they sell.
Were the items stolen? Did the owner have a change of heart? I don't know, but they are all gone.

I was incredibly tempted to stick my head in the door and yell, "Hey, how much do you plan on discounting this stuff after he dies??"

Again, we don't know if it was stolen or if someone had a change of heart. It will be interesting to see how the next month goes.
This is deep red country. In 2016 Trump won the state with 60.57% of the vote, and Clinton received 33.65% of the vote. The Republican candidate has carried Arkansas in every election since 2000.

They're always temporary, usually pop-up somewhere else a few days later.
