There are at least 2 Trump themed stores in the Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee. Ironically, one of them is next to a Mexican restaurant. I've never felt any inclination to enter the Trump store, but I'm sure it's absolutely full of cheap shit that they got from a bulk online shop from overseas, despite their gung-ho bullshit.
You know what you don't see? Biden stores in California or NYC. Because the left isn't a fucking cult full of slack- jawed yokels whose parents were related.
I saw those about 2 weeks ago. There are several other stores in the area that have giant window signs advertising that they sell Trump merch as well, just not wholly dedicated stores. Kind of wanted to stop in front for an oddity tourist photo.
Those shouldn't exist.
They're counting on it. The real money is the insurance payout.
I guess there's also a history of arson (whether done by an opposing party or their own) being used to help put assholes with dictatorial ambitions into power. No need to play into their hands.
Why would you say something like that?
Concern over the risks, of course. Why do you ask?
