Michigan restaurant chain Anna's House under fire from customers for donations to Trump

Breakfast turned political in Michigan this week when the all-natural, vegan-friendly restaurant chain, Anna's House, got online backlash for its extensive monetary contributions to President Donald Trump's reelection campaign.

The high-end breakfast restaurant chain opened in west Michigan in 2003, but it has since expanded and built locations all over the state, including two in metro Detroit.

But it came under fire on Wednesday when Grand Rapids resident Doug Chu took to Facebook and published a screenshot, detailing the donations made by Anna's House to Trump's reelection campaign.

How disgusting. And their whole "healthy, blah blah blah" crapola is so at odds with what their Dear Leader stuffs into his maw every day. I'm sure the one in Grand Rapids will do just fine, though.
