“Wednesday, Feb. 1st
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
6 PM – 8 PM
On Friday, President Trump signed an executive order closing the nation’s borders to refugees and citizens of 7 predominantly Muslim countries: Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia. As a result, refugees and visa-holding migrants have been detained at several airports, including JFK and SFO. The order has since been stayed, but the fight is far from over.

The Taylor guy is claiming in a tweet that he was just going to share his views with Trump. In reality, he was being used as a prop to smile while Trump did the work of big polluters and the US Chamber of Commerce.

“Dear PoPville,
Just noticed one of the owners of Taylor Gourmet in photo with trump this morning. Not cool! We need the local D.C. Businesses to support positive things.”
Time Magazine reported:
“President Donald Trump has signed an executive action aimed at significantly cutting regulations for small businesses.
The president was surrounded by small business leaders as he signed the order in the Oval Office Monday morning.”
You can see a EPA press photo here. “U.S. President Donald J. Trump (L) shakes hands with Casey Patten (R), the co-founder of Taylor Gourmet, during a meeting with small business leaders in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, DC, USA, 30 January 2017.”
