He's suppose to be the President of the United States! act like it!
Yeah, Trump acts like a first class tool with his twitter-tantrums.

Taking flak comes with the job of president and he doesn't deal with it well.

Secondly, be specific as to what boycott etc. because I rarely listen to anything Trump even says. If he called for a boycott of someone's store because they had a Biden poster in the window then sure, that's be the same idiocy.

Lastly, I never voted for Trump and never will. I find it amusing that someone as partisan as you would try to swing around accusations of unfair treatment at almost anybody with that log in your eye.
Here's a list

I don't know why I have to keep repeating this but I don't care which side calls for a boycott. That's their right. But when the left calls for one it's partisan and when the right does either it's justified or no one noticed it.

One of the first ones I remember was Nordstrom. They stopped selling Ivanka's stuff because it wasn't selling. The whole trump family went after Nordstrom on Twitter and all his supporters called for a boycott:

Hmmm, so you had no problem with any of those? Really?

Why do these people think people should lose their livelihood for showing support for our president?
I agree. However, what i find funny is that fox presented zero evidence to support that there was any woman posting about this to a facebook group. Which, quite frankly, would have been easy to verify. So it's basically a one sided story. The pizza owner could have just as easily fabricated the whole story to drum up publicity. Who's to really say?

As for him being a trump supporter, I couldn't care less what he chose to fly in front of his pizza shop. By virtue of the fact that he's likely a covidiot I would not buy pizza there. Donald Trump is telling ppl to inject bleach and not wear masks during a pandemic. He brags that he's not brain damaged. Do you honestly want to step into a food establishment of someone, who worships at the altar of a well established buffoon, and probably agrees with him that covid is a hoax, and doesn't bother to wear masks or wash their hands, etc. while also preparing your food?

Legally, trump is not supposed to promote or call for boycotts of businesses. Nor are his staff. But Kellyanne has been called out on Hatch Act violations so many times and nothing changes. Mnuchin promoted his own movie and no one cared.

I had a good laugh over the Keurig smashing. These people are not the brightest bulbs in the circuit.

The question was actually posed to you: did you call out any of the right wing boycotts? Or is it only a problem to you when the left does it?

It's not a smart business move to promote politics and possibly lose half of your clients.

I see trump signs, banners, and flags all over the place.
I’m sure you handle that well.

I have no idea what I meant. Certainly not based on your unbiased, open minded views here.
