An Australian man is blaming “snowflakes” for his second pro-Trump business failing weeks after he launched.
Mark Da Costa opened Bueno Eatery in St. Peter’s on March 19. He said at the time that it was suppose to be a fresh start away from his Trump-laden controversies, according to the New York Post.
Just six weeks later, Da Costa was back in his MAGA gear giving a middle finger to the camera in a photo he posted to social media announcing that the cafe is closing.
“St Peter’s was the wrong area to open a business like ours. However, it has been a huge lesson in both business and social studies,” he wrote before launching in an attack on the LGBTQ+ community.
Da Costa, who was a contestant on an Australian talent show, said he plans to release a song about the cafe’s closing in June.
“What a s–t hole. Releasing a song about it in June … so that you can be offended by it. F–kin snowflakes. The lot of them,” he wrote in an email to a reporter.
This is Da Costa’s second MAGA-themed venture to fail.
In 2020, Da Costa opened Hale and Hearty in Sydney, Australia which was marketed as a ‘Donald Trump safe zone’ and served pancakes with a “side of racism.”
The cafe failed as Da Costa was involved in several online controversies in which he called somebody a homophobic slur.
He blamed “left-wing fake vegan community” for the closure at the time and told people who criticized his behavior to “go f–k yourself.”
