A large store in Tennessee that exclusively sells President Donald Trump merchandise is closing, and it is due to a lack of shoppers.

The store is located along Interstate 40 near Knoxville, Tennessee and its exterior has massive Trump billboard, banners, and a brick outhouse labelled the “Democrat Superstore” make clear what kind of goods the shop is slinging.

But now the shop is selling off its remaining inventory at a 50 percent discount, Slate reports. It’s going out of business, and its owner, identified as William 'Bill" Hays, admitted the closure is due to lack of customers.

    I popped in to one of these Trump stores for a look prior to the election while I was visiting doing a road trip through some states

    The shit was expensive and cheaply made, the owner was reacting to recorded news interviews playing on screens as if they were live

    Very obviously a grift
