He knew what he was doing all along.

Only now he's being called on it.

He's been in business for 43 years, his pizza is probably pretty good. Don't you think?


I'm a Trump guy, but I'm not going to eat lousy food for him. So you're wrong again.
He called for attention when he hung the flag and went on Fox News. If you're not looking for attention, why would you go on TV?

As I said, hanging a trump flag has worked well for several businesses out here I'm sure he'll be fine.

And no, I don't think the amount of time he's been open means anything. Plenty of placee I see that have been open for years that I don't understand how, and other places I've loved that have closed quickly. A lot of factors involved in keeping a business going.

He chose to hang the flag, people can choose to eat there or not eat there because of it. The guy is a big attention you-know-what acting like he didn't know there would be a reaction. A local ice cream shop put out a huge trump sign and the trumpees lined up around the block. He knew what he was doing. Despite people's perceptions about New York, Suffolk County trends red.

"how bad it is". That says it all. Maybe his pizza is great, so why don't you say, how good or bad it is. Nope, you can't stand someone supporting the current president. Got it.

But why such a ridiculous reaction to supporting the president? Seriously? You can't be a patriot now? The left makes me sick how intense they are. Talk about nuts.

'Called on it'? LOL!


You make it sound like he did something wrong.


Anyway, yeah, he hung a flag for a guy that a lot of New York hates in the hopes of striking it big in pizza sales.

Yep, I'm sure trumpees would be lining up to patronize a business with a Biden flag. Come on. Both sides call for boycotts, but for some reason it's only a problem when liberals do it. As a liberal, I could care less whom you boycott. That's your right as a consumer. I thought that was a conservative principle, the free market.

As for pizza, this is Long Island. Plenty of amazing pizza out here without my going to some trumpee in St. James.

Sounds like maybe you have bad taste.


He only went on Fox News to defend himself against some triggered, lefty pig.

Do you live in Suffolk County? trump won it in 2016. You don't know what you're talking about.

I see trump signs, banners, and flags all over the place.

Bad taste? People wait an hour to eat at Olive Garden when there are amazing independent restaurants all over the Island. That shows what kind of "taste" most people have out here.

I'm not a big fan of businesses advertising their politics, but ...


Why do these people think people should lose their livelihood for showing support for our president?
I don't think they should. I think the free market should make that decision.

That said, this guy courted controversy and publicity by hanging that flag. He got it both. Why is he whining when he accomplished his goals?

Both sides do this? It is overwhelmingly the left that does stuff like this. It is overwhelmingly left that riot and loot. It is overwhelmingly the left that accuses everyone of being racist. Please. There is NO comparison and you know it. The left is disrupting our lives at a level never seen in the past 50 years. They are poison to our country. Oh, I voted democratic all my lift and probably won't vote for Trump this time around, so don't think I am a right person, but I don't like how the left keeps threatening others as they do. I am tired of their angry mob mentality! At some point, I hope people fight back by a political means. The republicans are just more positive and have more hope and pride in the US past and how far our country has come. The left is miserable and hate what our country became. They act like spoiled brats.
