'Trump Store' closes after tanking when Donald returned to office
Share this @internewscast.com

The Pennsylvania-based ‘Trump Store,’ renowned for its array of MAGA-themed merchandise, is set to shut its doors as sales have dwindled following Donald Trump’s return to the presidency.

Situated in Bensalem, a suburb of Philadelphia, the store marked its closing sale on the fifth anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot. Customers have been encouraged to purchase remaining stock before the store ceases operations at the month’s end.

In a heartfelt social media post, the store announced, “After six amazing years at our Bensalem location, we’ve made the tough decision to close The Trump Store.”

The message continued, “A huge thank you to all our loyal customers and the lifelong friends we’ve made since our grand opening in February 2020.”

The store initially launched after Joe Biden’s inauguration, experiencing a surge in business from conservatives eager to express their dissatisfaction with the then-new administration.

However, co-owner Mike Domanico revealed to the Philadelphia Inquirer that business has noticeably slowed since Trump reclaimed the presidency last year.

Domanico said sales dipped after the President was impeached, but grew when anticipation built for his reelection campaign. 

When FBI agents raided Trump’s estate at Mar-a-Lago in the summer of 2022, the store saw a spike in sales.

Domanico added that MAGA supporters flocked to his store a year later to purchase ‘Free Trump’ shirts when Trump became the first president indicted on felony charges. 

‘The store has kind of run its course,’ he confessed during an interview with the Associated Press.

‘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.’

Even though the Constitution bars any president from running for a third term, Trump has floated the idea, and some of his supporters have made merchandise advertising for a 2028 run. 

Trump Store PA also started selling merchandise advertising for his third term, but Domanico told AP it was just to rile people up. 

The store’s final sale runs until January 31, with shirts as low as $3 and hats as low as $5. 

Some of their items include a gold hat with Trump’s signature and ’47’ inscribed on the cap and a ‘Charlie Kirk Show’ mug. 

The store dropped a line after Trump’s 2024 victory, with a slew of shirts that read, ‘Guess Who’s Back,’ ‘Trump Won Again, Get Over It,’ and ‘I Love It When I Wake Up and Trump is the 47th President.’ 

Trump's popularity in Bucks County dipped during the 2020 election

In a 2022 video tour, Domanico showed off a slew of products advertising Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Trump Store PA sits in Bucks County, a crucial swing district in the state. Biden won the county by 51 percent in 2020. 

Current Governor Josh Shapiro won his race for attorney general that same year by 51.10 percent. 

However, Trump won the county in 2016 and narrowly carried it once again in 2024 over Kamala Harris.
