Small business owner says president 'bought the country,' blames him for price spikes

A small business owner said the president "acts like a private equity company," arguing he has "bought the country" and is "demolishing it from the inside out." The speaker blamed presidential social media messages for pushing coffee prices "through the roof," and said that economic swings have created instability for their business and family.

The remarks were presented as the speaker's assessment of recent political and economic developments; the transcript records no response. The speaker framed the issue as a threat to the vision of America as a place where small businesses and hard work allow families to thrive, saying, "I hope that that's the country that I see in the future because that's the country I believe in."
