While browsing the shelves at the Trump Store, shoppers from the Gothamist found a few fan items they could happily add to their collection. They included white “Klan” style hoods, postcards with Vladimir Putin as the 45th president, and urine-resistant rubber sheets. And my personal favorite, a TV remote control pre-set to Fox News.

Unfortunately, these specials were only available to the lucky early arrivals. That’s because after the Gothamists tried to purchase some, the employees evacuated the store and shut it down. After re-opening an hour later the merchandise was gone. However, it was on the shelves for nearly twenty-four hours. Here is the report of the retail discovery from the Gothamist:

“On Monday afternoon, two NYC-based artists secretly slipped some items inside the merchandising outpost of the Trump Tower’s lower lobby. Among them: A Trump-emblazoned KKK hood ‘for fine people,’ sealed packages of pee-proof rubber sheets, and a Russian flag. In the front of the store, a postcard display featured the 45th President of the United States, Vladimir Putin, along with cards paying tribute to First Lady Ivanka Trump, and the flap of flesh near the president’s throat area, known as a Wattle.”
In an interview with Gothamist, the artists described their motivation:

“We thought the tourists coming in to buy some stuff, especially people from other countries, should get the whole story of who the president is, because the items in the Trump store don’t accurately reflect the person,” one of the two artists, who asked that we not reveal his name, told Gothamist.

What I don't get, is other than my freak in-laws...I haven't talked to a single person who actually voted for Trump... which is maybe 50 or so. I still don't understand how he got elected. Hubby has only met a couple of Trump supporters as well...

They're in hiding, Wish!

As mysteriously as they appeared, they disappeared!

Did you see the video of Focus Group? Pretty revealing! Apparently they did the focus group in Pittsburgh, where even the Mayor wishes Trump would not use his city's name in vain.

They're just like Bush voters. In fact, they're the same people.
