Thousands of Trump supporters lined the streets of downtown Houston wearing shirts that took direct aim at people who don’t support the president.
Vivid images on two T-shirts at the Donald Trump rally in Houston stood out among other souvenirs sold on the street.
In one image, a bikini-clad Stormy Daniels, who has become known for revealing a sexual encounter with Trump, flew off a motorcycle driven by the president. On the shirt, Trump wore a leather vest with the message « if you can read this, the snitch fell off. »
A similar Hillary Clinton T-shirt took a slightly more aggressive approach.
« If you can read this, the b—- fell off, » the shirt said.

Thousands of Trump supporters arrived at the Toyota Center on Monday ready to see the president show his support for Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Throughout multiple long lines, they formed bright red streams of « MAGA » hats, pants and shirts, many of which depicted conservative fantasies and carried messages designed to provoke Democrats.
« Trump won, get over it! » declared on man’s shirt.
« Deal with it, » declared another.
Many children, some as young as nine years old, joined with the supporters on Monday. The mother of Jackson Sanchez, 9, said the boy liked Trump long before he appeared as the Republican front runner during the campaign. So they decided to pull him out of school for the event, the mother said.
« Trump 45 — It ain’t a mistake snowflake, » Sanchez’s shirt said.
Among the more cartoonish, yet popular, images at the rally was a depiction of Trump riding on an American-flag themed tank with a bald eagle flying in the background. Another image showed Trump urinating on the CNN logo.

« I just like [Trump] because of his attitude and his money, » Britt said.
Another attendee, Dan Chandler, drove to the rally all the way from Plano. Carrying an acoustic guitar with a « Trump » sticker, he said he was primarily there to pray with people. But he also attached a Confederate flag to his walker.
« I call this my snowflake trigger, » he said.
Confederate symbols have been the source of country in mostly southern states over the last few years. Activist groups saying they represent racism in the country.
But Chandler said his flag simply represented a resistance to people telling him what to do.
