Kevin Gregory was selling Donald Trump bobbleheads on E. 4th Street in downtown Cleveland on Wednesday for $20 a pop, or two for $35. Sales, he said, were going well this week. “People like bobbleheads,” said Gregory, of the Cleveland suburb of Willoughby. “High-quality collectibles separate us from the cheap stuff out here.” The bobbleheads, Gregory said, are made in China. “We’d like to make them in the U.S., but we’d have to sell them for $50 apiece,” he said.
