The Trump Burger eatery in Bellville, Texas, received a lot of feedback on Friday, July 29, following a Houston Chronicle piece about it. The restaurant is a memorial to former US President Donald Trump, as its name suggests.
A sizable circular sign of the 45th US President, which appears to have been inspired by one of his campaign buttons, can be seen in front of the establishment. The 76-year-old native of New York is depicted on the new signage placed in front of the establishment giving the “thumbs up” sign with the American flag in the background.
Numerous netizens responded to the restaurant when it received public attention as a place that honours the former President. Several tweets also made fun of the restaurant’s plans to serve its burgers with Russian dressing.
This makes explicit reference to claims that Donald Trump may have connections to Vladimir Putin, the Russian leader who is accused of meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.

The restaurant is run by second-generation Lebanese-American Roland Beainy, according to the Houston Chronicle. It appears that all of his relatives support Donald Trump. Beainy said in his comments to the publication why he adores the former President.
Owner of the eatery said:
“Being an immigrant from a location where everything is terrible and you make almost $200 per hour, you see someone like him supporting the nation and boosting the economy. Being an entrepreneur myself, I value what he accomplished.”
On the website for the Trump Burger eatery, the “About” section shouts even higher praises for Donald Trump.
It states:
“We are ardent supporters of Trump who are committed to MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. We have the chance to prosper because of the VALUES that Trump DEFENDS! We anticipate Trump’s re-election in 2024 and promote COLLECTIVE support since we think he is the best candidate to steer and bind our lovely country! America’s blessing comes from God.”
