T-shirts with an image of former U.S. President Donald Trump raising his fist appeared on e-commerce platforms in the U.S. and China just hours after an assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally.
Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at around 6.15 p.m. local time on Saturday in the US state of Pennsylvania. Associated Press released the iconic photo of a fist-waving Trump at 6.31 p.m.
Within three hours, Chinese online retailers began promoting T-shirts featuring this “historic” image, accompanied by slogans like “Shooting Makes Me Stronger” and “Can’t Be Killed.”

“We put the T-shirts on Taobao as soon as we saw the news about the shooting, though we hadn’t even printed them, and within three hours we saw more than 2,000 orders from both China and the U.S,” Li Jinwei, a 25-year-old Taobao seller, told SCMP.
T-shirts featuring Trump’s image from the assassination attempt are also available on U.S. e-commerce sites like Etsy, eBay, and Redbubble, priced between $11 and $35.

These T-shirts have gained significant popularity, with related posts on Twitter garnering millions of views. However, their sales figures in the U.S. and Chinese markets are not yet available.
These online retailers are also offering additional merchandise featuring Trump raising his fist, including mugs, stickers, badges, hats, phone cases, and notebooks. Content creators and influencers in the US are promoting these items on social media.
