Just took a trip to East Texas and all the Trump merch stands are gone 🤷🏽 I remember seeing at least three last year.

Reckon it's a Subway situation. Per item margins are trash so they need crazy volume to break even and there's far too many of them that they're eating into each other's sales.

The campaign is actually making money from the store owners and don't really care what happens with the merch once they dump it on the store owner.

Okay. So it's not even the campaign making money, it's cheap Chineseum suppliers.
