You don't have to follow financial news to know that Wall Street absolutely, positively, no question about it wants Donald J. Trump to stay in office as president of the United States for second term.

What about Main Street?

An interesting indicator that Main Street agrees with the grand poobahs of high finance occurred to me while wandering around the Wagon Wheel flea market here in Pinellas Park, Florida, which has been doing brisk business since 1966, according to its website.

Having been to W.W. several times, and found bargains each time, I can testify to the accuracy of its slogan: "If you can't find it here, it probably doesn't exist."  A list of goods typically on sale can be found here.  Last week, for twenty bucks, I got a beautifully carved soapstone elephant from Zimbabwe.  I make sculpture, too, and told the vendor I appreciated the skill and hard work that went into the composition.  He smiled.

What interesting indicator am I talking about?  As I walked around from building to building — see site map — I kept noticing merchandise such as hats, T-shirts, banners, stickers, posters, and welcome mats all displaying a pro-Trump message.  Hmmm...

I decided to take photos with my smartphone to see if a pattern developed.  After fifteen photos at several stalls, I became convinced it wasn't a coincidence.  To make sure there was no bias, I also looked for anti-Trump merchandise but didn't find any.

For example, T-shirts carried messages such as:

• TRUMP 2020, the Sequel, Making Liberals Cry Again
• Keeping America Safe BORDER WALL Est. 2016 Construction Co.
• In Trump We Trust, Keeping America Safe Again
• I'M DEPLORABLE Trump 2020
• TWO TERMS, DEAL WITH IT (It's gonna be huge.)
• Trump 2020 FINALLY SOMEONE WITH BALLS!
• A photo of Trump as Rocky Balboa

My favorite was a poster of a downcast-looking Trump next to this message:

TRUMP the man who put aside his great life to be scrutinized, mocked, ridiculed, slandered, and humiliated FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

So my suggestion to American Thinker readers is to visit large flea markets in their own cities and find out if either pro-Trump or anti-Trump merchandise is for sale.  Flyover country is in the dead of winter right now, so this will have to wait a few months.  California flea markets probably have only anti-Trump merchandise, but I could be wrong about that.  Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Nevada, and Arizona are more promising.

Flea markets could be an interesting source of information to take into account as we get closer and closer to Election Day.  I intend to go back to Wagon Wheel over the next several months to track change.  Next time, I will buy some Trump memorabilia.
