Trump supporters 'Hodge Twins' uploaded Trump T-shirts on their shopping mall. They emphasized "Fight, fight, fight." The selling price is 48,000 KRW.
Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was depicted clenching his fist in a T-shirt design following the shooting incident during his campaign on the 13th (local time).
On the 14th (Korean time), some online stores in the U.S. featured T-shirts showing former President Trump clenching his fist with blood dripping, set against the backdrop of the American flag. Famous content creators, the Hodgy Twins, posted the Trump T-shirt on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "100% of the proceeds from the sale of this shirt will be donated to the Trump campaign." The Hodgy Twins are a duo of American stand-up comedians and conservative political commentators, consisting of twin brothers Keith Hodgy and Kevin Hodgy. The T-shirt they posted is titled "Trump FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT T-Shirt" and is being sold for $35 (approximately 48,000 KRW).
Another online store initially listed a T-shirt titled "Trump Assassination Attempt Defiant and Resolute Shirt" at $25.59 but later changed the price to $22.95, roughly 30,000 KRW. There was no detailed product description, but the shirt prominently emphasized that it was made in the USA.
A similar product appeared on another site with a price of $19.95 (about 27,000 KRW). This site provided a more detailed description. The store stated, "The Trump Defiant and Resolute Assassination Attempt Shirt has received significant attention following the shocking incident in Pennsylvania," adding, "This T-shirt features an iconic image symbolizing determination and an unwavering spirit in the face of adversity." It further explained, "It vividly depicts former President Donald Trump raising his fist in resistance alongside his security team, with the American flag prominently waving against a blue sky background. Printed in high resolution on a high-quality black cotton shirt, it guarantees both comfort and durability."
An image showing Trump’s photo applied to a model for advertising purposes. It appears to be a staged image rather than an actual printed product.
The store also said, "The clenched fist and the American flag are powerful symbols of resistance, patriotism, and unwavering resolve," adding, "The image on this T-shirt represents not only a moment of Trump's personal resilience but also a broader symbol of standing firm against adversity. The depicted scene signifies the courage, determination, and immortal spirit of the leader and his supporters." The most important message was at the end. The site stated, "Owning this T-shirt is more than a fashion choice. It is a declaration of support for resilience and determination," urging, "Please support this product to show solidarity and pride when facing adversity," and concluded, "Buy the T-shirt today and proudly wear it to show the world that you stand strong like Trump."
