The shop in suburban Philadelphia had been a gathering spot for the MAGA crowd to rally during the 2024 campaign.
Nestled in a strip mall in suburban Philadelphia, The Trump Store is hard to miss with its all-caps sign in bold next to a photo of President Trump hugging the American flag. But after six years of drawing MAGA supporters from all over, the 800-square-foot store that sports everything from hats and watches emblazoned with the president’s name is closing.
The store’s owner, 56-year-old Mike Domanico, said that, with sales down, it was time.
“He’s not running again,” Mr. Domanico said of the president, who is barred from seeking a third term by the Constitution. “When something’s happening like an election’s coming up or something in the news happens with Trump, the sales jump. But since there’s no election coming up, things have slowed down.”
Less than half of Americans approve of President Donald Trump’s performance after he completed a year in office for his second term.
In a new poll by the Associated Press-NORC, a smaller percentage of respondents approve of his performance in the White House. Trump’s approval rating on immigration, one of his key issues, has also dipped since he took office.
Here’s what Americans are saying about Trump’s over performance as president.
