Is Abandoning Your Online Shopping Cart Really A Thing? [View all]

I saw a tweet yesterday that said something about how we should all go to Trump's website, load as much Trump merch into the shopping cart as possible, and then just leave. It implied that the online seller takes some sort of financial hit or something when you abandon online shopping carts or something. Has anyone heard of this? Because if it's true, it might be the next thing we should all try out. Online gamesmanship worked pretty well last week in Tulsa.
