A Minnesota restaurant owner has claimed he lost half of his customers after publicly supporting former President Donald Trump. Allen Brenycz, who purchased a digital billboard in Minnesota supporting Trump, confronted Donald Trump Jr. during his podcast “Triggered,” seeking a repost to help boost his business.
Brenycz stated he had experienced a significant drop in customers since displaying his support for the former president. He launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the billboard, acknowledging that his political stance was alienating a portion of his clientele.
Trump Jr., while acknowledging Brenycz’s support, said he hadn’t seen the billboard but would “try to check it out.”
The incident comes amidst the ongoing presidential campaign, with Vice President Kamala Harris holding a significant lead over Trump in polls, both nationally and in Minnesota, where Governor Tim Walz serves as the state’s vice presidential contender.
While these numbers could shift following the first debate between Harris and Trump, Brenycz’s experience highlights the potential economic impact of political stances for small businesses, particularly in a politically polarized environment.
