Donald Trump-loving man opened Trump Burger in his honour despite threats

A Donald Trump-loving bloke admires the former President of the United States so much he's opened a themed restaurant in his honour.

Located about an hour northwest of Houston, Texas, Trump Burger is surprising some with its staying power beyond its namesake's tenure, but the venue, owned by a second-generation immigrant, according to the Houston Chronicle, has a loyal following.

After a rocky start, with threats to burn the place down, people are flocking from miles around to soak up the atmosphere and taste the branded burgers at the Belville restaurant.

The restaurant’s Facebook page is an endless promotion of the glories of burgers and fries — with the occasional reference to other foods as well as to Trump.

Owner, Roland Beainy, said: “Being an immigrant from a place where everything is bad and you work for almost $200 (around £164), you see somebody like him to support the country and get the economy doing better.

"Me being an entrepreneur, I appreciate what he did."

Beainy was born in Boston and moved with his family back to their native Lebanon as a child.

The family returned to the U.S. in 2019, and the restaurant opened in 2020.

Beainy added: “We have a lot of friends in Bellville.

"It’s a wonderful spot to have Trump-supported stuff, and it’s where I feel at home."

As noted by Fox Business, the word “Trump” is branded on every burger bun.

There’s a joke on the menu: The Biden burger offers “1 oz beef, topped with tomato lettuce (not fresh) and our old buns (not available for cheating reasons)” for $50.99.

“I thought they’d be out of business after the elections, but you come here on the weekend, you see a big line of motorcycles, sports cars and antiques and Trump flags,” Bellville resident Brian Hajek told the Chronicle.

“They’re all from out of town.”

Will Taylor, a Marine from nearby Katy, Texas, said it was not the décor he liked as much as the huge military discount.

“They’re very generous about it,” Taylor said. “More so than any other places I’ve been to.”

Beainy said there was some opposition when he opened with some people calling and telling them they "wanted to burn the place down."

He admitted it was "scary" to get the calls but he now has a "great following" and claims not all support Trump.

Beainy said he has no ties to the former president or the Trump Organization, but he invests some of his profits toward Trump’s.

“I would love to have his blessing and have him come by,” the restaurateur said. “We tried to call them — we have some friends — we’re hoping that he does soon and sees the place.”
