BENSALEM, Pa. — A shop selling President Donald Trump-themed merchandise in a suburban Philadelphia strip mall has emerged as a magnet for the president’s backers and a reflection of Pennsylvania’s status as a political battleground this year.
Mike Domanico, the shop’s owner, is a former general contractor who got into the T-shirt business in 2017, when he noticed that the 10 or so Trump shirts he offered for sale at car shows sold out fast. Domanico, 60, himself a Trump backer who said he’s been following him since the 1980s, opened a kiosk in a nearby mall before expanding to the store early this year.
“People that love Trump, they really love him,” Domanico said. “They want to wear the hats, the shirts, bumper stickers and mugs. They want to show their support. I think that’s what it’s all about.” But Chris Borick, a political science professor and the director of Muhlenberg College’s Institute of Public Opinion, notes something different about the demand for Trump gear.
Smith said he plans to give them out to people who “are sitting on the fence” politically. “It’s a conversation starter,” he said.
