The Edinburg shop owner shared her support for Trump — and special pastries — on social media following the election, garnering a rush of customers.

She opened the store in May 2022 after running a construction company with her ex-husband. As the COVID-19 pandemic prompted businesses to rely more on social media, she used platforms like Instagram to gain popularity in the community. But in August, her sales dropped, sometimes only raking in as little as $200 a day. Ramos announced to the shop's Instagram followers that Papy Donuts would be closing.
As a precaution, she joined the Edinburg Police Department's"Business Watch" program by which police officers stop by to check up on her store on occasion. Promoting the Trump doughnuts after the election wasn't purely a business tactic. She wanted to show her support for Trump, who she believes will be best for small businesses like hers.
"I would strongly caution against this trend because you do see this is transient," Gupta said."Change is constant in the political environment so if they keep vocalizing their political views, I predict that there may be more polarization amongst their stakeholders."
