Donald Trump’s supporters are promoting unique Black Friday deals on fringe online platforms. These include items like Faraday cages, untested health supplements, and pro-Trump merchandise, targeting their audience directly rather than using mainstream sites. Discounts are significant, with some health products advertised up to 60% off. Gun manufacturers are also heavily promoting sales, offering deals on various firearms and accessories. Alternative platforms like Gab and Truth Social are the main venues for these promotions. Some users are expressing skepticism about Black Friday, labeling it a cash grab by elites. Others are sharing conspiracy theories related to the day, including claims of a "storewide blackout" being a secret message.
