TRUMP EDITION

***UPDATED (SEE POST BOTTOM)

Saw this yesterday in the parking lot at a BJ’s Wholesale Club here on the Space Coast.

Note the nameplate on the tailgate.

Talked to the owner of the truck to find out where he got the TRUMP EDITION nameplate. Said it came with the truck. Asked where he bought the truck. Said “Vero Beach.”

So later while we were at the beach, I showed a friend (who wears Trump and related MAGA political t-shirts every day) these photos and he asked what dealership in Vero sells Ford trucks?

I looked it up and called. Talked to a sales guy who had never heard of the nameplate, but said he wished he had one for his car. “Me too,” I laughed.

So with that, my friend and I both thought it was a pretty cool (and classy) way to show our support for Trump. And I’m wondering where the heck I can get a nameplate like it for my car, right?

Note TRUMP metal nameplate just to the left and below F250 nameplate.

Fast forward to today… I was on US Rte 1 in Melbourne this morning heading south to an appointment in Sebastian, when I flew past a couple who were assembling a pop-up tent in a parking lot at Suntree Blvd. Beside them was a truck with an attached storage trailer emblazoned with Trump visuals. I figured they were setting up to sell Trump paraphernalia. I made a mental note to swing by on my way back home. Can never have too many Trump MAGA ball caps, T-shirts, flags and tchochkes.

So on my way back, I pulled in.

Got out of the car, walked over to where a couple of people were talking to the merchandiser with the Trump gear, and first thing I spotted was a table of trays filled with — yeah, you guessed it! TRUMP EDITION nameplates. Jackpot!!!

DEPLORABLE Edition nameplates! All manner of different Special Edition nameplates. It was hilarious!

The price marked on each box — $25 for a set of two. Yay!!!

I bought two sets (4 total). I was so excited to have found them, I called my beach friend and dropped one off. Blew him away that I came across them only one day after spotting them. What are the odds!!!

“Thoughts become things”, he says. His b’day is this month so when he offered to pay for his, I shook my head. “You’ve got a birthday coming up. Consider it a b’day gift. But… after you put yours on your truck, you have to put mine on my car.”

Deal!!!

Photos of metal self-adhesive nameplates:

I told the Trump merchandiser about the truck I had seen yesterday at BJ’s and he told me he knows who the guy is, and that he owns a limo service that transports people (Tucker Carlson among them) who fly into Melbourne Airport to Mar a Lago, about a two hour drive south. Evidently Mr. Ford250 is well connected with people who fly into Melbourne Airport to see Trump instead of perhaps dealing with the busier Palm Beach Airport.

Funny thing, earlier when I was at a traffic light while driving back through Melbourne on my return trip, I happened to notice a garage where mechanical work was being done on cars, etc., and beside it in the next lot was a row of gleaming black SUVs, Trucks, Vans, etc. Guess that’s the guy I saw yesterday who has the limo service. Small world! “Thoughts become things!”

The fellow who sold me the faceplates has a website: PatriotsWill.com

He’s adding more gear all the time. Red ballcap MAGA keychains for $5. Affordable. His philosophy is that big corporations are gouging us and he’s offering a fair price for his Trump gear. He’s won me over.

Looking forward to seeing the TRUMP EDITION nameplate on my car!
