edit .... fuck him https://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2017/10/12/mass-business-owner-at-trump-health-care-signing.html Dave Ratner got chills as President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence walked into the Roosevelt Room of the White House to sign an executive order Ratner called "a huge deal for all small businesses.” “No matter what you think of Trump or his policy, this is a good thing,” said Ratner, who owns seven Dave’s Soda and Pet City stores in Western Massachusetts. “It was, 'Holy smokes, I’m here with history.' It was very cool.” |
