    It was pretty bad before this.

    Seventeen days after Roland Beainy, the face of the viral restaurant Trump Burger and an ardent fan of the president, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accused of not being in the country legally, Iyad Abuelhawa — who founded the Trump Burger forerunner in 2016; whose wife recently slammed Beainy for taking credit for their idea; who, 20 years ago, was accused of injecting 1,100 Exxon Mobil employees with fake flu vaccines and then, while in jail, snitched on another inmate’s murder-for-hire-plot before pleading guilty in his own case — was also detained by ICE and is being held in untenable conditions, according to his attorney.

        This is what was described as happening for the first owner that was detained by ICE

        • Suing partner because he gave him 65k to be a partner. Has witnesses. Partner says there was no written contract and is counter suing.
        • Landlord is suing Trump burger because he registered Maga Burger 2 months before they opened up and never told them. The landlord demanded 10k more a month added on to the 11k because they’re using “his name.”
        • The partners are suing the landlord because all of their credit card transactions started to go to the landlord.
        • Landlord is trying to take over the restauraunt as his own but the Lebanese born co-owner was detained by ICE.
        • Trump sent a cease and desist for using his name.

        Once you get to the second semicolon in the same sentence, I’m calling it journalistic malpractice.

        8 commas

        2 em dashes

        2 semicolons

        1 sentence
