A Kenosha business owner is accusing President Donald Trump of using his destroyed store for political gain.

Tom Gram’s century-old camera shop burned to the ground a week ago during the unrest in Uptown Kenosha. Gram said he declined President Trump’s request to be a part of his tour of damage Tuesday in Kenosha. Instead, a former owner of the shop was invited and he praised the president’s efforts.

Gram has owned Rode’s Camera Shop since he bought the business from the Rode family eight years ago. He worked at the store for more than four decades, but that all came to an end last Monday when the building went up in flames.

1. Everything Trump says or does is a lie. If this former owner is portrayed as the one...

....who has suffered the loss, shame on him too.

2. The desire to be seen with famous people is truly astounding.

I swear it hits the limbic system of some people so hard that all they can see is a fantasy rise in status and lose all sense that they just might be exposed as fools.

3. You and me both

I see famous people and the first thing I think is, "Why would I want to bother them?"

4. Trump is a fake and a fraud. Those who enable him are no better. nt

5. Trumpism , the greatest act of fraud ever pulled off in America.

Trump is a master at fooling people.

6. IMO, the better story would have been of the present owner putting in four decades as an

employee, saving the capital to buy the business for himself, losing it, and still having confidence of rebuilding. Having a photo taken with Trump is more of a souvenir.
