The Mount Olive pickle company has pulled out of Trump's "celebration of me" state fair because of the display of a confederate flag hanging in the North Carolina booth. The MAGAts are furious. They'll never eat Mt. Olive pickles again in their entire lives.

Oh, what a "state fair" TrumpCo. has put together.
