A beloved family-run grocery store in Florida may soon close its doors after more than four decades in business — and the owners say tariffs are to blame.

The trouble began when President Donald Trump’s tariffs took effect, shaking the foundation of small import businesses across the country.

They never ask in these stories - would this Trump supporter be continuing that support even after being kicked in the dick? That's the only part I'm interested in, because everything else these supporters talk about in these stories are things everyone with a brain saw coming.

They stand in front of the steam roller in Austin Powers and get squashed - would they do it again? My guess is they would, but I have to guess because no one ever asks!

if i was a business owner (which i never would be), in florida (which i also never would be), i would know to request that the interviewer leave that question out of the article, lest i add boycotts, vandalism, arson, death threats, etc to the money woes

Insurance clearly states it doesn't cover riots, protests, acts of violence, etc.

So the owner did the smart thing not to aggravate the real MAGA terrorists.

I suspect you wouldn't say "you know, that guy threatening to shoot me in the face with a shotgun seems like the right person to protect my face" either, in fairness.

You might if he has an army of angry shotgun toting weirdos standing behind him.

Some of the stories do ask. Every one I have seen or heard, they still support Trump. They are unhappy about the specific issue affecting them, but they still believe the rest of his policies are the best ones on offer.

I do not believe turning voters is viable. But discouraged, less enthused Trump voters are more likely to stay home next election, so I see examples like this as potential hopeful signs for our country's future.

Everyone with a brain saw.

Ooo, a brain saw. I don't have one of those.

The metal kind cut better, make sure you have one of those as well.
