On the back is an illustration of the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/03\/15\/majority-of-americans-dont-believe-biden-will-seek-second-term\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">45th president<\/a> in a tough-guy pose wearing an American flag bomber jacket and gripping the Constitution. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful picture. We park the bus outside the store, and people pull over, start taking pictures and come into the store. The other shops in the plaza have gotten more business too. It\u2019s been a nice reaction,\u201d said Scuzzese, 57.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.COM-STORE-1405-HWY-37-TOMS-RIVER-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.COM-STORE-1405-HWY-37-TOMS-RIVER-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=768\" alt=\"The store&#039;s bus is a popular draw\" class=\"wp-image-21571134\" width=\"623\" height=\"831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.COM-STORE-1405-HWY-37-TOMS-RIVER-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1246 1246w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.COM-STORE-1405-HWY-37-TOMS-RIVER-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=935 934w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.COM-STORE-1405-HWY-37-TOMS-RIVER-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=623 623w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.COM-STORE-1405-HWY-37-TOMS-RIVER-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=312 311w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.COM-STORE-1405-HWY-37-TOMS-RIVER-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all 1024w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The store\u2019s bus is a popular draw<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Greg Dooner<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.com-1405-Hwy-37-Toms-River-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.com-1405-Hwy-37-Toms-River-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=240\" alt=\"Let&#039;s Go Brandon sells Trump and pro law enforcement gear and novelties\" class=\"wp-image-21571142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.com-1405-Hwy-37-Toms-River-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all 240w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/LGBNJ.com-1405-Hwy-37-Toms-River-NJ-08753.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=120 120w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Let\u2019s Go Brandon sells Trump and pro-law enforcement gear and novelties<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Greg Dooner<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dooner added that they have brought it to rallies and will make it available to rent for parties and special events.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a totally new concept for Scuzzese, who also owns amusement stands on the Seaside Heights boardwalk. <\/p>\n<p>Before the election in 2020, he opened a pop-up shop in downtown Toms River selling Trump gear and he\u2019d set up roadside concession stands hawking MAGA-centric flags and novelties. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw how good it was selling.
