Trump stores are closing across the country. In Philadelphia and Crystal Lake, Illinois, shops that sell MAGA merchandise are shutting down due to a lack of interest. The Trump Truth Store + Hangout in Crystal Lake has only been open for several months. But in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, the owner explained the difficult decision she made to temporarily close the location, saying that President Trump’s war against Iran was the immediate cause of the collapse in business.
“It was dead as a door nail the minute that happened,” she said, while also noting her belief that wearing Trump regalia could attract negative attention for his MAGA followers.
