In a fascinating coincidence, both of these accounts "just saw these T-shirts hit the clearance section" and posted about it using the exact same words.
This "coincidence", of course, isn't a coincidence - it's spam.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Some Trump administration social media posts mirror extremist rhetoric

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.
