MAGA shop closes down after sales dip with owner blaming Trump's Iran war [View all]

The ongoing war in Iran, dropping an expletive-ridden Truth Social post saying ‘Praise to Allah’, and the firing of both Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi have sent tsunami waves through the US political sphere.

Now, a store which sells Trump and right-wing merchandise has shut down, with its owner blaming the Iran War for the plummeting sales.

The Trump Truth Store sits in Crystal Lake, Chicago, one of the more conservative suburbs of the Midwest city. It’s one of more than fifty dotting states around the country.

Owner Lisa Fleischmann told the Chicago Tribune that sales at her business began plummeting after Trump launched the war in Iran on February 28.
