In addition to these businesses tied to President Donald Trump himself, one fan operated Trump Burgers, a chain that operated as a sort of tribute to the president.
What is Trump Burgers?
While it’s a regional chain, Trumped Burger has received national attention. The chain describes itself on its website.
“If you’re looking for a taste of American greatness in the form of juicy chicken wings, look no further than Trump Burger. Customers rave about the delicious burgers, with one patron praising the courage and appreciation shown to one of the greatest presidents of our time. The buns are soft, the fries are fantastic, and the overall atmosphere is top-notch,” the company shared.
The restaurant, which was founded by Lebanese immigrant Roland Beainy made its politics clear.

“With its support for Trump and mouth-watering menu options, including the signature Trump Burger, this place is a must-visit,” it added.
Now, Beainy has lived the full Trump experience as he has been deported due to him having an expired Visa and all Trump Burger locations have closed down.

Legal troubles for Trump Burger owner
Beainy is facing deportation as officials allege that the Lebanese national overstayed his visa, engaged in “sham” marriages and has a criminal record that includes an assault charge.
“The 28-year-old restaurateur, Roland Mehrez Beainy, entered the United States in 2019 as a non-immigrant visitor and remained in the country illegally when his visa expired in February 2024, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Fox News Digital on Saturday.”
In addition to immigration issues, Beainy faces issues with the president himself.
“The Trump Organization, President Donald Trump’s private business, sent the Bellville location a cease-and-desist letter earlier this year”, The Fayette County Record reported.
Being a Trump supporter does not have any benefits for the restaurant owner.
“Despite false claims to the contrary, Roland Mehrez Beainy does not have any immigration benefits that prevented his arrest or removal from the United States,” an ICE spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Saturday. “Under the current administration, ICE is committed to restore integrity to our nation’s immigration system by holding all individuals accountable who illegally enter the country or overstay the terms of their admission. This is true regardless of what restaurant you own or political beliefs you might have.”
