Texas small business owners explain why they tolerate Trump and his tweets

AUSTIN — Several small business owners said at a Republican-sponsored forum Thursday that they adore President Donald Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation policies.

But the event’s host, a printing-company owner, said he disagrees with “some things about President Trump.” He declined to be more specific.

State GOP Chairman James Dickey, emcee and co-sponsor of the Trump reelection campaign’s “Open for Business” roundtable in north Austin, acknowledged that some recent tweets by the president have been odd.

But the business owners and Dickey shrugged off talk of Trump’s Twitter eruptions. Instead, they attributed the country’s low unemployment rate and what they described as their businesses’ surging profits as products of Trump economic policies.

“I’m a big promoter of the tax reform, and I think it’s working,” said Round Rock hotel company owner Hitesh Patel.

Patel, chief executive of Capital City Hospitality Group and immediate past chairman of the Asian American Hotel Owners Association, said the 2017 tax law’s provisions on exchanges of real estate have helped his company expand by more than 50 employees.

An unmistaken left wing bias in the premise. That the President’s tweet are somehow intolerable.

Austin is about as anti-American as San Francisco is. It’s filled with progressive socialists and hardline socialists plus a large population of elitists. Was stationed there in the 80s b4 the Commie takeover. Was awesome back then.

Austin is the liberal armpit of TX. Hope he enjoys the homeless his mayor is letting camp out on his business’ doorstep.

What’s wrong with his Tweets? I think they are great and some are down right hysterically funny.

I think most people who are upset with his Tweets just don’t have a sense of humor

Trump’s tweets are just him throwing Alinsky back at the communists. Backed with facts, not hysterical lies.

President Trump could say he thinks he’s a chicken and lays eggs in his tweets and if he keeps righting all that’s wrong with the country, I’ll buy a dozen off of him.
