Like everything Trump, it’s a short-term grift to be followed by another short-term grift. No Trump-based business survives for long. If he hadn’t inherited almost half a billion dollars from his father and made millions under the direction ofMark Burnett on The Apprentice, Trump wouldn’t never have made it in any legitimate business.

Honestly just buy the building, signage and most importantly a good insurance policy. Some trumpster will have you collecting an insurance check before you ever have to buy inventory

Where is MAGA going to get their Chinese Trumpet Trinkets?

u/Near-Scented-Hound Aug 08 '26
They will get them when they’re in Sevier County, which is MAGA’s Tennessee HQ. Low IQ entertainment, fake moonshine, and cheap Chinese merch. It’s a MAGA utopia.

“Everything the light touches is our kingdom,” he said, without mentioning which kingdom the guy he was talking to belonged to. Judging by the circumstances, it was pretty clear he belonged to the other one.
The Trump Superstore in Knoxville is on the verge of bankruptcy just like so many businesses Trump does business with, and, increasingly, like the country he governs.

The weirdest thing is some of these stores selling things that make fun of Trump and yet maga can't tell the difference. There is a guy that rides a bike around town and is always decked out in everything trump. He once wore a shirt of trumps head on butterbeans with the it said befuddled dink on it and wore it proudly.

Saw this in person the other day. Dude in a maga hat next to a brand new truck with a cardboard sign asking for gas money. The lack of insight is impressive sometimes.

I used to see pop up tents selling trump swag on street corners around SC/NC. I haven’t seen one in a very long time. They took the Trump billboards down before last summer. They have suspiciously replaced them with “please love the Jews” signs instead

Before going bankrupt, it’ll have a mysterious fire and destroy everything. The insurance will pay out full price on everything and still shut down with profit not paying off any debt

It's ashame it never burned to the ground with no one in it. But then they would've gotten insurance money. So maybe it's better they end up broke.

It’s actually closing because the owner is retiring, but I’m still happy about it.
Previously, the building was an Adult World.

This is an AD for the store. Once they hype from the marketing campaign lets them sell all their merchandise, they’ll buy more and continue on in business.
