The museum, located at the corner of Fifth and Market streets on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, responded with a link to some of its more applicable merchandise: a T-shirt that reads "YO SEMITE."

The humorous shirt, featuring text in log-like lettering and two trees above it, was inspired by designer Sarah Lefton's day job at a Jewish summer camp near Yosemite National Park. The shirt has been available in the museum's store since 2011.
The National Museum of American Jewish History, which opened its 100,000-square-foot location in 2010, filed for bankruptcy in March.The Philadelphia Business Journal reported the museum's store made $30,000 from the shirt in the first 30 hours after Trump's flub.
