Trump's company wouldn't say what his new $107K business was, until after we tracked it down

Source: USA Today

NEW YORK — For more than a week, nobody at the Trump Organization wanted to talk about the mysterious new corporation from which President Trump earned more than $100,000 last year.

The new venture, T Retail LLC, came to light on Trump’s 92-page financial disclosure statement released last week, which describes it as an “online retail business.”

T Retail LLC was formed in Delaware in May 2017, according to corporate records reviewed by USA TODAY, and has also filed business registration paperwork in Florida, Louisiana, New York and Virginia.

The company’s business registration activity matches the launch of TrumpStore.com, a new store selling goods emblazoned with the president’s last name which announced its launch in early November 2017. The store collects sales tax in the same four states as records reveal corporate filings for T Retail LLC.

Wasn't there supposed to be something against doing that?

It's really cutting into the time he has to spend running his etsy store.

I'd rather have him selling Trump junk for Trump Chumps to wear on their junk, than messing around with this governing thing.

I thought [Redacted] doesn't DO bathrobes?!?

The store sells everything from T-shirts and hats to dog leashes and gold bar-shaped coin banks branded with the “Trump” name. A can of Trump deodorant sells for $14, while a Trump bath robe costs $125.

Everything about Trump stinks to high heaven. Why would you buy deodorant from a man like that?

Little Donnie Trump takes a dump on the Constitution. And not one Republican will call him on it. Not one.

Buying worthless shit from that site just to try and make Donnie look "popular". $14 bucks for a can of Trump deodorant. Same people buying crap from that store that are more than willing to GO FUND his stupid wall.
