A Donald Trump-themed burger joint in Bellville, Texas, about 50 miles west of Houston, has become a big tourist draw and hit with the locals after opening in 2020, according to a profile this week in the Houston Chronicle.
Roland Beainy, a second-generation Lebanese-American, opened Trump Burger just before the last presidential election, serving meals like the “Trump Tower,” which is a 16-ounce burger with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and “Trump” sauce.
