When his business took a hit he said, "You may have seen a picture of me at the White House recently while President Donald Trump signed his executive order on health care. I want to say strongly and clearly: I do not support this executive order. I had absolutely no clue he was adding all the onerous changes. I was duped, I am an idiot. I did not vote for Trump and I am not a Trump supporter."

[outofsalt]

Massholes eating their own. And Chick-fil-A is stronger than ever.

[Teacher317]

as well as the restaurant chain Chick-fil-A and many others.

Chick-Fil-A revenues have exploded from the day that the Left targeted them for their "boycott".

As for the "many others", let's see a list... especially since the first one mentioned as the biggest example is so clearly a lie.

Friggin' journalism majors.

If he hadn’t been a pussy and backed Trump fully conservatives would have grown his business for him. Idiot.

[ClearCase_guy]

Maybe making EVERYTHING political s a mistake.

The Left started this long ago with “The personal is political” and I think at this point a lot of people are just sick of their nonsense.

I admit, I see everything as political now — just because I want to push the pendulum back to a more normal world. I don’t want politics to be a constant headache. I just want to live my life. The Left believes this makes me a racist, misogynist hater. I say screw them.

I see others beat me to it already but it can't be said enough that Chik-Fil-A continues to be one of the fastest growing (and most profitable by store) chains in America. Even in Manhattan, they are out the door busy.

So the article starts with a false premise (that supporting the President hurts business) - which makes it not even worth reading.

[Pinkbell]

Now he has managed to tick both sides off. Liberals won’t believe him, and I would stop going there because of his waffling.

[Scrambler Bob]

I am an idiot. I did not vote for Trump and I am not a Trump supporter.”
= = =

This - is why I would cease doing business with him.

[roadcat]

He needs to expand into online Internet sales, and target non-democrat party areas for sales. He’ll make a fortune, advertising himself in the photo with President Trump.

[CincyRichieRich]

Evil leftist projectors...They WANT that business to suffer. So they say it to make it so.

[SoFloFreeper]

What a weakling. No wonder the NFL is failing. Billionaires and small business guys are bowing their knees to Trump haters.

[Robert DeLong]

rump's own company as well as the restaurant chain Chick-fil-A

Both are doing very good, in fact people has named Chick-fil-A as their favorite. I love their spicy chicken sandwich.

[Arm_Bears]

The NFL is killing its brand and it’s been nowhere near the White House.

[Tammy8]

So now he made the rest of his customers mad...

I cannot imagine that people do not realize you should not get political if you depend on customers or fans. No matter what you say or do you will alienate part of your customers/fans.

[Boomer]

If every single leftist left the USA today (please do); tomorrow all the businesses who were still standing would do just fine.

[Mastador1]

I don't know about Dave's Soda, I rarely drink soda and never waste money on specialty brands, but I do recall Pet City quite well while they were still open around me and they have had a poor reputation and shrinking business model for quite a while before he was duped by Trump. Of course if he didn't vote for Trump and is so dismissive of him, what the hell was he doing going to meet him to begin with?

Sounds like an opportunist whose plan backfired.

[rrrod]

Ef him

[Yaelle]

I don’t like sodas made out of pets, anyway. Cruel.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Erik might want to throw out his brown bag baloney sandwiches and go to Chick-Fil-A during lunch sometime. The boy is in for a rude awakening.

[McBuff]

I guess that long line of cars in the drive-thru lane at our local Chick-Fil-A must be Leftist protesters.

"It's happened to the likes of Trump's own company as well as the restaurant chain Chick-fil-A and many others."

What passes for reporting these days. Chick-fil-A has prospered greatly in the aftermath of being attacked by the gay lobby.

Chick-fil-A isn’t just the most popular fast-food chain in Georgia, it dominates the US
