VERNON, CT — President Trump is about to become Mr. X in Vernon.
A sign has popped up at the former home of the "New England for Trump" merchandise store at 154 Talcottville Road in Vernon. The Trump store closed permanently on Jan. 19 of this year, after opening in the summer of 2024.
It endured demonstrations, rallies, protests and even vandalism in its volatile and arguably popular existence.
But the Trump logos have been replaced by a new sign depicting a cool customer in a fedora that could be either a sinister underworld figure or even a police detective from anytime between 1919 and 1959.
The smoke shop will be named "Mr. X Puff & More."
