""The store has kind of run its course," he said. "You know, it's been six years and the elections are over. Trump's not gonna be in another election, even though he'll be part of it." The store sells Trump 2028 gear despite the president being constitutionally prohibited from running in 2028. Trump has said it's "too bad" he can't run, though he's also handed out Trump 2028 souvenirs at the White House. "That's just to get people riled up," Domanico said."
"The Facebook post announcing the store's closure attracted gloating comments from apparent Trump skeptics. "Are you no longer winning?" wrote one commenter. Another said: "Trump must be doing wonders for the economy." Domanico said there was a time when he'd respond to all the comments, but no longer. "No matter what the president does, they hate him no matter how good anything is," he said."
"Dave Russell, 81, is a longtime Trump supporter and was at the shop when it opened in 2020 to buy a Trump for Veterans hat. In a phone interview Tuesday, he said he wasn't surprised the shop was closing. "Because most of the stuff they sell was to promote Trump. He's already in this last term. You can't do much more for him than he's already gotten," Russell said."
A suburban shop in Bucks County, Pennsylvania that sold Donald Trump-themed hats, flags, T-shirts and other items will close after six years. The storefront posted on social media that it will close at the end of the month. Owner Mike Domanico said he is focusing on selling firearm targets and other items at gun shows and is semi-retired, and he acknowledged that business has slowed. The shop sold Trump 2028 gear despite constitutional limits on candidacy, and the closure prompted gloating online comments and limited owner responses. A longtime supporter said he was not surprised.
