"I'll Be Back" T-Shirt, 2020
01
Artifact Overview
Many supporters of President Trump believe that he was vital in protecting the constitutional right to own and carry firearms. This shirt, a combination of altering the presidential campaign slogan of "Make America Great Again," and the unlicensed usage of the phrase "I'll Be Back" from the 1984 science-fiction film, "The Terminator," embodies the ideals of machoism and gun ownership.
