What happened
Store owners report that sales of Donald Trump merchandise have softened as the president is in his second term, leading to the closure of at least four stores this year. One online retailer, MAGA Mall, reported sales of MAGA gear are down 30% compared to a presidential election year when Donald Trump was on the ballot.
