Don Jr. confronted by restaurant owner who lost half of customers over Trump support

Donald Trump Jr. was confronted by a restaurant owner who said he lost half of his customers because he supported his father's presidential bid.During a live chat on his Triggered podcast, Trump was caught off guard as he read a message from Allen Brenycz, who owns a restaurant in Minnesota.Brenycz begged the former president's son to promote a fundraiser for his business, which was necessary because he had lost revenue after putting up a billboard supporting the Trump campaign."I have a digital billboard on the highway in Minnesota," the owner explained. "I need a repost from you for my pin post. I've lost half my business since publicly supporting.""Al, I'll try to check that out," Trump replied. "I haven't seen it, but if I can find the post, I will check it out, appreciate the support.""Again, I think more people get it than you believe, but like we've dealt here on Rumble, like you've seen over on X, you know, the people will go after the advertisers, they'll go after you if they see you supporting anything like that," he added. "That's why we have to go after this and get back to just common sense and decency."In a fundraiser on the GoFundMe website, Brenycz asked for $2 donations after dedicating his digital billboard "to supporting Donald Trump's election campaign 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."ALSO READ: Something broke Trump’s brain "As many of you know after coming out and advertising for a political figure I am alienating a good percentage of customers," he revealed. "Many folks voting with feelings will just simply refuse to patronize my business because of my support."Brenycz argued that Donald Trump was "truly our last chance" to "address the issues that are affecting small businesses like mine."Watch the video below from Triggered.
