Seaside Heights NJ, according to Christine Shapiro on April 28th after our Trump Party , I went inside a bar called “Spicy Cantina” at Seaside Heights, NJ , while I was there , I ordered a drink and I started speaking with a couple. They had told me that they were from North Jersey and I said that I was also from North Jersey. Suddenly, the bartender approaches me and he says, “Listen I can’t have you harassing our customers about Politics. I will ask you to leave “. And I said that I didn’t harass anybody neither spoke about Politics. I felt offended of them telling me to leave. I spoke with the manager and I said that was discrimination of them judging me by my Trump Train shirt and flag that I was wearing on my back. He said it wasn’t a big deal. Afterwards, I left and came back again within 15 minutes. When I approached the door, the security guard said , ” I can’t have you come inside. The manager said your not allowed to come in.”
I was so disappointed. This is a country of freedom. Who kicks you out of a bar because of the clothing that you are wearing? Trump is our president. People need to accept it. I didn’t even say a word about politics inside. I couldn’t believe this was true. I never felt so discriminated throughout my whole life. they are telling people that my side of the story is false but the truth is their side of the story is false.
#MAGA comes to Wall Street.

After years of slowing earnings growth and little in the way of excitement for many Wall Street analysts, many are now hopeful that President-elect Donald Trump will finally make things interesting.
When collating data for the Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Analyst Index — a proprietary measure of growth across different sectors of the S&P 500 — the firm included a question this month on what the election of Donald Trump will mean for the industries covered by those surveyed. Turns out, they are rather optimistic.
“This month, we asked analysts to comment on how the results of the U.S. election will affect companies in their respective sectors,” the team led by Avisha Thakkar writes in the new note. “While their responses suggest that there is still uncertainty about the sector-level impact, the majority of sectors are anticipating favorable effects,” they say, adding that expectations of lower tax rates and economic stimulus are among key reasons for the favorable outlook.
