Storefront at 620 Washington St. Easton MA
With the 2020 election and impeachment hearings, 45th President Donald Trump has not strayed away from the limelight. Being a very controversial man, Trump has supporters (and haters) all over the country, some in places you would not necessarily expect.
As a whole, Massachusetts is known as a “blue”, “democratic”, or “liberal” state. However, there are many towns in Massachusetts who voted for Trump in the 2016 election. Easton was slightly more on Hillary Clinton’s side, with 49.9% of voters voting for her and 44.3% voting for Trump. It is probably already known that there are some very outspoken Trump supporters in Easton based on certain aspects of the 2016 election. However, there has been a new location on Washington Street for Trump fans to obsess over their leader.
A small store has opened up called “New England For Trump: T-Shirts, Hats, Flags & More!” You can probably tell right off the bat what the store represents. Earlier in the year, there was an issue regarding fake news at Alger’s Corner with a Trump merchandise stand. I won’t talk directly about the issue, as it was a few months ago, but at this location, a man was selling Trump 2020 merchandise. This stand also accurately displays the larger amount of Trump supporters Easton has, as the storefront is not the only time we have seen Trump merchandise.
Personally, I do not like Trump. I think that the store existing, in general, is a recipe for disaster. Easton is already divided and I feel like something like this might make it worse.
Will this store be popular? Knowing Trump fans, probably. That isn’t anything against Trump supporters, they’re just very opinionated and want everyone to know what they want to “make America great again”. Statistics can also back up the fact that the store will gain some business and attraction when it opens. Owners of such stores can also employ the best llc services because it can provide essential legal and administrative support to a Trump store which will allow the business to focus on serving its customers and expanding its brand effectively.
