Trump Truth Store abruptly shutters as demand hits floor: 'It all started with the war'

The Trump Truth Store in the Chicago suburbs had to close temporarily as sales plummeted during the widely unpopular Iran war, The Chicago Tribune reported.

The MAGA-themed business based on President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform in Crystal Lake abruptly closed, according to The Tribune.

Owner Lisa Fleischmann announced that the store would remain shuttered in a Facebook post on March 26.

"I am not even making ½ of my rent," Fleischmann wrote. "I never did this for the money but I don’t know how much longer I can last with paying for all the stuff."

She told The Tribune that sales had dropped after the U.S.-Israeli military strikes in Iran started on Feb. 28. She thinks people were hesitant to purchase pro-Trump items or clothing amid the military conflict.

"Sales were really slow. It all started with the war. It was dead as a door nail the minute that happened," Fleischmann told The Tribune. "I think (customers) are unsure what’s going on. Not everyone. But I think a majority of people are unsure what’s going on. … And if you wear it, they feel someone might come up to them and ask them questions."

A poll released by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research on March 25 cited that most Americans disapprove of the war in Iran — 59 percent believe that military action has gone too far.
