failed and she wants to blame the failure on Trump protesters rather than delving into other possibilities for their failures. For instance she spent a lot of time discussing the various types of musical instruments they carry, which sounds to me like they have a niche market which probably attracts a very small segment of the population. The fact that they were making money in the beginning is probably attributed to the fact that they had picked all the low hanging fruit that they could i.e. family, friends, current musicians, etc. I read nothing in her whine session about how they were reaching out to and grow their business that was unique particularly since they had just launched a new business and seemed to be relying on their past experiences to carry them through which had also been a failed business.

I never understood businessmen and women, small or large, who put their business and livlihood at risk by mixing their business and politics. Particularly when your business is just starting up its your sole source income. Trump in particularly has been especially polarizing which makes her and her husband appear even more foolish in putting their livelihood at risk behind someone who made it a point of driving a deep wedge between half of the nation during the campaign and feeling no need to try and rebuild the divide he had caused once the campaign ended and the task of governing began.

I have no empathy for this woman, but it looks like they are looking for jobs in the Trump administration now. Sorry but like many here, I hope that administration will be very short lived.
