An Army veteran claims he was asked to remove his Trump 2016 T-shirt because he was making other gym members “uncomfortable.”
Jake Talbot told KMOV-TV that he wore a shirt that read “2016 Trump for President” to CDY Fitness in Troy, Missouri, on Sunday. He claims the owner approached him and asked him to not wear the shirt again because it was offensive to her and other gym members.
“I was just puzzled there for a second. She said that it was racist and represents racism and that’s when I when I was like ‘oh, you’re done," Talbot told the news station.
Talbot, who is reportedly an army veteran, said he has worn the shirt many times before to the gym and never had a problem until Sunday. He posted a 20-second video to Facebook following the incident.
“The owner Liz came up to me and said that Trump shirt I had on was offensive and said I needed to remove it in order to work out there, and that it is linked to racism. I hate the word, its used way too loosely. It’s 2019, get the hell over it, it’s not racism,” Talbot said....

They have already deleted their Facebook account. So brave.
May this fitness center go out of business...If they did that to me, I’ll say that I paid my membership, so either leave me alone or I’ll sue you so badly you’d be owned by me...
They obviously cannot prove something that is absolutely false. They spew what they hear and repeat it. Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton,NAACP etc LOVED citizen Trump before they hated him as President Trump.
Voice mailbox is full. Not answering calls either.
I wonder why?
We all know why. The gutless owner is in hiding.
Hope it isn’t Planet Fitness....
...that oughtta get her... abs tight
....guess the blowback was more than they expected....
