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.

Gram said he got a call Monday from the White House asking if he’d join the president on a tour that would showcase his leveled business, but Gram immediately refused.

This is Not Fair.. Whomever did it. And, of course, we can't be sure.

3. You missed the point I think

the laugh, and audacity -- was in reference to this guy telling the Supreme Leader to "F*** Off"
(and letting other people know about it as well)

4. The owner knows where the hate

Looting and rage is coming from and it is not the peaceful protesters.

5. and they quickly found some other sh*theel to fill for him

so -- mission accomplished -- whether it involves the truth or not.
This is pretty typical Trump playbook -- difference being, a lot of people are on to it by now.

6. But the real owner

Quickly outed them. Just another lie and now the original owner looks like the fool he is. There goes his reputation.
