Texas restaurant chain Trump Burger mysteriously closes as owners face deportation

Source: The Independent

Friday 10 October 2025 14:33 BST


A Texas burger chain, which shot to fame after naming itself after Donald Trump and offering a supersized helping of MAGA politics, has closed after ICE arrested its Lebanese owner.

Roland Beainy, of Trump Burger, which has outlets across the Lone Star State, was arrested by ICE earlier this year after reportedly overstaying his 2019 visa, which was set to expire in 2024.

His restaurants, which are entirely themed around the U.S. president and billed as “a patriotic haven for burger lovers,” now appear to have closed, including premises in Houston. On Friday, 10 October, The Independent found the Google profile for the Trump Burger at Chimney Rock Road in Houston is listed as “temporarily closed”.

The Houston Business Journal reportedly visited the location twice this week during peak business hours but found the restaurant's neon sign off, with a "closed" sign on its locked front doors, and the small parking lot deserted.

You have millions who have some kind of cognitive dissonance about what is going on and not thinking it won't "impact them". It's a literal "mass psychosis".

This dude adored Trump, thinking he was going after violent "illegal" immigrants who also happened to be browner than him. Fuck around and find out: you overstayed your visa. You are an illegal alien in Trump's eyes.

'Trump burgers' was supposed to be the owner's path to fame and fortune.

Instead he got the TKD (Trump Kiss of Death)

Some people have:
1: Overactive fear reflexes
2: Lack of imagination

These people are Trump voters.

Drawing attention to yourself as a Trump supporter won't save your butt from deportation when Trump's Gestapo finds out about your visa status.

This is classic FAFO. But that the businesses closed when their proprietor has been detained lacks even a hint of mystery. Imagine that he’ll be deported and that the closure is not temporary.

I hope their food tasted fabulous. I hope that the chain had lots of devoted, loyal right wing customers, and that ALL of them know exactly why their favorite eatery was shut down.
