NY German Restaurant Takes Down Trump Photo After Backlash

NEW YORK (AP) — The owners of a German restaurant in New York have taken down an autographed photo of Donald Trump because they say it was hurting the business.

The Brooklyn Daily reports Schnitzel Haus owners Fred and Amber Urban say the photo of the Republican presidential nominee had been there since the restaurant opened in 2007. The Urbans were friends with Trump’s head of security at the time and they say Trump dropped by to wish them good luck. He sent an autographed photo the next day.

The photo is a topic among online reviews on Yelp, with diners saying they were uncomfortable or offended.

Fred Urban says on Facebook that some people have canceled reservations over the photo, while others want to take selfies with it.

    A Donald Trump photo sort of spoils the appetite…

  2. Hmm. That’s just a photo, imagine the damage being caused to his brand. He better enjoy his last months as a billionaire.

  3. They don’t need to completely remove it from the restaurant. After all, the place has bathrooms.

  4. Its either take it down or change your fucking name to “Schnitzels and Schlongs”.

  5. But isn’t that destroying art or history or something???
