Free food for Trump supporters: restaurants in Kentucky launch an unusual promotion

But there is a condition. Those wishing to receive free food will have to give up their flags, T-shirts and caps with Trump symbols in return. Get a free entree, side dish and drink at Pollo - Gourmet Chicken Joint in Louisville.

Owners Troy King and Selena Johnson support Biden. They placed in Facebook free treats announcement following Biden and Kamala Harris' victory announcement on Saturday 7 November.

“As soon as I saw that Biden was the confirmed winner, I thought, OK, we won, but we still have to figure out how to get everyone together,” King said. “Victory won’t mean anything if Americans don’t come together.”

So King got the idea to trade free food for the now "useless Trump merchandise," and he and Johnson decided to announce such a promotion.

Several commentators welcomed the idea. One said he would like to be a Trump supporter in order to get free food, while others said they would no longer go to a restaurant because of this.

King is not surprised because he knew that such an action could hurt someone's feelings. But it was intended as a “sincere olive branch” - a symbol of reconciliation.

However, there was a more unexpected reaction: on November 8, an unknown person called King and told him to stop the action, "otherwise something bad will happen."

Instead, King decided to hold a similar promotion in his second restaurant, Six Forks Burger Co., and extended it until the end of the month.

In case more Trump supporters decide to accept this offer (and the first one has already been found), then King instructed his employees to be as friendly as possible, despite their personal political views.

“I don’t want anything negative to come out of what we’re doing,” King explained.

Johnson would like someone to come to the restaurant when she or her husband is there so they can sit down and talk.

“In my opinion, the country is very divided,” she said. “At the end of the day, we all want the best.”

King has yet to decide what he will do with Trump's merchandise. Several Facebook commenters suggested burning it, but the restaurateur said he had no intention of doing so.
