老闆米歇爾•科斯比說,“到目前爲止,店內出售的都是一些搞笑商品。”

The best-selling item so far? Toilet paper emblazoned with Trump's face. "We sold cases upon cases of it," Cosby said. "And at $12 a roll, it wasn't cheap." (But, she added, she has since stopped selling the popular item: "Now that he's our president-elect, we didn't want to cross the line.")

漢德說,“顧客的反響讓我們大吃一驚。所有總統就職周邊似乎擁有了生命——有的是熱愛他們的候選人的,而有的則並非如此。”
