Tampa Entrepreneur Offers Low Cost Trump Merchandise





Calvin Ratlife who owns a store selling various seasonal merchandise at various locations around the Tampa Bay area is now selling various items to promote Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

“I don’t want to give away all my trade secrets but I’m uniquely suited to offer all this stuff for considerably lower prices than other so-called legitimate retailers,” he said, gesturing to racks of t-shirts, pennants and hats, all with typos. “Those aren’t typos; those are my protection against getting sued.”

“See, they can’t bust me for selling shoddy, illegal bootleg Donald Trump/JD Vance merch because this is totally authorized some other guys in next year’s presidential election merch, whoever that is,” he said. “The people who buy this crap, and they buy A LOT of it, aren’t exactly sticklers for accurate factualness. It would be a huge waste of money to push the official Trump stuff, so I don’t and I pass the savings along to the consumer. It’s a win-win all around.”

“I’m basically a hero and a genius,” he added. He says his store is currently located “around”.
