Don Jr. Blindsided By Fan Who Says Their Business Is Dying Because Of His Dad

Donald Trump, Jr. did a livestream this week, and he ended up being completely blindsided by a fan who asked for help after his restaurant lost half its customers because he bought a billboard supporting Trump for President. The restaurant owner begged Junior to tweet out a post in support of the restaurant, and he’s even started a GoFundMe to raise money over his losses for supporting Trump. The man refuses to take down the billboard, which means he’s still not learning anything from his ordeal, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

This week, Donald Trump Jr. Decided to have a little live stream for his triggered podcast. And during the live stream, as so many streamers do, he decided, Hey, it's time to read some responses and requests from the audience. And because, you know, he's doing it in real time, he doesn't have time to vet these things. And he ended up becoming blindsided by a complaint from one of his fans who basically said that My business has gone downhill because of your dad. But that's an oversimplification of things. Let me read what the, uh, commenter said to Donald Trump Jr. That again, caught him completely off guard. He said, I have a digital billboard on the highway in Minnesota. I need a repost from you from my pen post. I've lost half my business since publicly supporting your dad. So this small business owner owns a restaurant in Minnesota.

Uh, I'm just trying to give you a little bit more backstory. Um, he decided to put up a digital billboard that he says is running 24 7, announcing that his business supports Donald Trump for president. Which for the record, absolutely his right to do that. Nothing wrong with doing that. You have the freedom of speech here in the United States, and it's lovely. What you don't have Mr. Restaurant, owner, owner from Minnesota, is freedom from consequences. You see, when you take a stand on an issue that can be as controversial as supporting Donald Trump, you're going to get backlash. So as you yourself mentioned to Trump, Jr. You lost half your sup, uh, uh, uh, business because you support his dad and now you're begging him to like retweet you so you can post it. And oh, boy, look how popular I am. And to that Junior responded and he said, uh, I, I'll try to check that out. I, I haven't seen it, but if I can find the post, I will check it out. I appreciate the support. And then he went on to say, I, 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're supporting anything like that. That's why we have to go after this and get back to just common sense and decency.

Okay? That, that actually doesn't even make any sense. If people boycott advertisers, they have the right to do that. Just like this business owner has the right to say that he supports Donald Trump and he has a right to purchase a billboard saying his business does. But if you're going to tie your business to a politician, especially one as controversial and alienating as Donald Trump, you have to expect the consequences. And here's the kicker. This dude who's like, Hey, I'm losing business because I'm publicly supporting your dad. Okay? So take the billboard down. Hopefully people forget they come back to your restaurant, he's not gonna do it. Instead

He created a GoFundMe where he is asking everybody to give him $2 'cause that'll do it. Um, and he posted this, he said, as many of you know, after coming out and advertising for a political figure, I am alienating a good percentage of customers. Many folks voting with feelings ju will just simply refuse to patronize my business because of my support. Yeah, because people vote with their dollars and they're voting that, Hey, I don't wanna give my money to a Trump supporter, which again, they have every right to do. And I'll tell you this, if your restaurant was good enough, these people would put it aside. Listen, there's all kinds of businesses in this country that I don't like, and I still utilize them because sometimes it's my only choice. Other times it's because they're a better business. And I know that my money is going to support, you know, these billionaires.
