And pro-Trump fashion accessories — many of them custom — were on display inside the convention hall.
One attendee wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the image of a bloodied Trump surrounded by Secret Service agents, raising his fist in the air, surrounded by a printed message: “Impeached, arrested, convicted, shot. Still standing.” The shirt was paired with the bust of the former president’s head on a gold necklace.
