At an intersection in rural Virginia along Route 220, Donald “Whitey” Taylor put out his newest merchandise on the lawn of his megastore celebrating the former president — a yard sign that said “Garbage DeplorableS For Trump.”
“They just came in today and they are already flying off the shelves,” Taylor, 74, said before a sea of colorful political flags before a decommissioned church that is now packed with Trump merchandise.
Only days after President Joe Biden referred to supporters of the Republican nominee as “garbage,” Taylor says supporters are eager to sport apparel with the label after former President Donald Trump capitalized on the outrage by campaigning in a garbage truck and a reflective vest.
“They love it. They want more; by the end of tomorrow, I bet all these new signs will be gone,” Taylor said, pointing out a stack at the front of the store.
