A Las Vegas restaurant owner faced calls for a boycott after inviting former President Trump to a press conference about his “no tip tax” policy, but he has no plans to bow to the pressure.

“I was so grateful that President Donald Trump was in my restaurant. (But) I’ve had a lot of phone calls, a lot of TikToks from people, talking negatively about me and my restaurant, but at the same time I’ve had a lot of positive responses,” Javier Barajas told “Fox & Friends First” on Thursday.

Barajas owns the Mexican-Italian restaurant II Toro e La Capra, where the former president presented his “no tax on tips” policy in a televised message last month.

He spoke positively about Trump and his idea at the time, a local outlet reported, and doubled down on his support on Thursday, telling co-host Carley Shimkus that he supports the GOP candidate’s immigration policies and believes Trump will do more to support the working class.

“We support President Donald Trump because we know he will do a much better job for the people who work hard in our country,” he said of the Hispanic community.

“He knows the United States needs people to come to work, not to be (offenders). We’re not happy with what President Biden did: opening the border to millions and millions of people without checking their criminal records.

“In 2008, President Obama promised a lot to the working class, but they (his administration) never did anything,” he added.

Barajas also has more confidence in Trump when it comes to the economy, indicating that it has been difficult to keep his doors open since President Biden took office.

“Everything is very expensive,” he said.

“President Donald Trump – he’s a businessman. I know he’s going to do a much better job for us.”

Barajas’ family also runs the Lindo Michoacan restaurants, which serve Mexican cuisine in the region. President Biden visited one of the locations in July, just before announcing he was dropping out of the 2024 race, according to KLAS-TV, a CBS affiliate based in Las Vegas.
