I went to Ollie's Discount Closeout Store, today and found Trump bed linens for sale.

And they weren't even in the sheets and blankets section - they were piled up, face down, in the back corner of the store.

I wish I had checked the price but when I picked them up and saw that name, I dropped them like they were poison.

I admit that I was shocked they weren't some shade of "golden".

Complete with "made in China" tag, at Ollie's ("Good Stuff Cheap!&quot
I love that place and always come out with bags of stuff I don't need. But not Trump towels, thanks.

I used my coupon to stock up on coffee and cat food. I have my priorities.

Great story, though - even in the discount stores, dumped in the cheap heap.

I think they are pretty much an 'east of the Mississippi' sort of chain.

I've been going for years, and even though I knew they'd grown, the extent of growth surprised me.
