'I voted for you three times': Critics unload on Trump’s small business summit

The Irish Star reports critics bushwhacked a White House social media post wherein it proclaimed to be an ally of small business when consumer satisfaction is historically low.

The mass attack came on the heels of a small business summit held at the White House, after which the White House posted on X, stating: "Small businesses are the backbone of America. They drive 40 percent of our economy, power American manufacturing and support working families nationwide.”

But hundreds of online critics swarmed the comments section to share their fury at President Donald Trump and the business environment he’s created for the small businesses he claims to appreciate.

“As a small business owner, you have made everything MUCH worse. You're the enemy of the United States and of the American people,” said one critic, according to the Star.

“Trump just gave small business the death sentence,” posted another. “With fuel doubled, family businesses will be going into bankruptcy from Trump's war of choice supporting a genocidal state.”

Even purported crypto advocates — long considered deep in Trump’s political corner — jumped in on the abuse: “Both my small business have taken a hit … no good health insurance for small business owners. All prices are up on all goods we use to make our products. Shipping is terrible since gas is going up. Quite the opposite and I voted for you 3 times … WTF is going on?”

“And they can’t afford gas because you felt it necessary to go to war with someone who couldn’t hold our jock strap,” howled another. “Where is my $2000 tariff check …?”

Another critic, presumably a Republican, complained that “If we lose the House and Senate, it will be because [Trump] turned his back on America First and put a foreign nation ahead of America. TRUMP turned on US ... not the other way around.”
