First thing I did when I got my truck was take the dealer stickers off.

If they can martyrdom him, they will. Otherwise, expect that they’ll be selling merchandise and photo ops if they can.

Things seemed to be getting better in the 90s. It wasn’t solved, but it was on course to be getting better.
