A beloved family-run grocery store in Florida may soon close its doors after more than four decades in business — and the owners say tariffs are to blame.

The trouble began when President Donald Trump’s tariffs took effect, shaking the foundation of small import businesses across the country.

I bet he's expecting the government to come in and save his business now too.

Hopefully he gets a box of extra bootstraps. If he isn't able to pull himself up with the straps he can at least live in the box before being arrested for being homeless and sent to a forced labor camp.

They're going to have to be domestically produced bootstraps and I just don't think we have the capacity for as many as we're going to need any longer.
