BREAKING: Patriotic marketplace PublicSq to go public in $200 MILLION deal backed by Donald Trump Jr.

"We will win by creating a parallel economy and that's exactly what PublicSq is doing. PublicSq is on a mission to identify millions of small businesses across America that share our patriotic values," Trump Jr. said.Public Square, an anti-woke digital marketplace, is set to merge with Colombier Acquisition Group in a $200 million deal that will also see the company go public. The San Diego-based company hosts over 50,000 individual vendors.

According to the Daily Mail, the site has gained the attention of Donald Trump Jr., who advises the company, and former Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters.



"People need to stop giving their money to businesses that hate them. We aren't going to defeat woke corporations by whining on Twitter," Trump Jr. said to the Daily Mail.

The company provides consumers with an alternative to woke companies across the country that align with "America-first" values.

"We're the nation's largest directory of patriotic, America-first businesses and consumers that has ever existed," said Michael Seifert, the company's founder.

The company will serve as an alternative for those seeking to give their money to companies whose values align with theirs. 

"We will win by creating a parallel economy and that's exactly what PublicSq is doing. PublicSq is on a mission to identify millions of small businesses across America that share our patriotic values," Trump Jr. said.

Omeed Malik, Trump Jr., and Masters along with former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence Nick Ayers will join the company's board. 

Products can be sold on PublicSquare after a short vetting process, which mainly consists of vendors checking a box that says they agree with the values listed. These values include "protect[ing] the family unit," and the "sanctity of life."

"These are things that normal people believe in 2006, right? We're not fringe, we're not out on the outskirts. We believe in judging each other by the content of our character, not by the color of our skin. So we're not embracing affirmative action policies, no ESG (environmental, social and governance, no DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion)," Seifert said. 

"This is an economy that's based on meritocracy and value for the individual."

What really needs to happen is that an org like this needs to create financial institutions and credit card vehilces.

This is a good thing but don’t forget the ones that are already out there. The Mammoth Nation and the Made in America Store websites are great also. I buy from both.

i went to take a look:

https://publicsq.com/

1. How do you shop on a website that doesn’t even have a search function?

2. lots of rhetoric about patriotic values, etc., but not a single word about customer service values ...

It is disappointing. The website does not sell anything, it just redirect to other websites. Not impressed at all. They got a long way to go.

You need to create an account to see the search box.

I typed in the word “Books” and it listed many links. the third link was for AbeBooks which is OWNED by Amazon! Why would they allow an Amazon subsidiary on their website?

The man with the idea has been on Tucker Carlson and yesterday he was interviewed by Vince Coglianese. He sounds like he has given it a lot of thought. I hope he can pull it off. However, I’m not sure how they will keep the sabatoures and pretenders off the site.

“You need to create an account to see the search box.”

that ain’t gonna fly ... there’s no incentive to signup for a pig-in-a-poke website ... no other serious e-commerce site requires pre-signup to view their merchandise ... their merchandise IS the incentive to sign up, and most will sell you stuff WITHOUT account signup anyway, though making an account is the wiser move because it makes tracking the order more reliable ...

sounds to me like they’re more interested in harvesting data and sending spam email than selling stuff ...
