Bordieri’s decision stems from his belief that Trump, as a businessman, has the acumen to maintain lower prices, foster job creation, and generally improve the economic landscape for Americans. During his interview, he expressed his disenchantment with traditional politicians, hinting at their tendency to make unfulfilled promises and manipulate narratives for political gain. He credited Trump with achieving significant progress during his previous term in office.
The chef also highlighted the economic challenges faced by younger generations, particularly the escalating costs of home ownership exacerbated by rising prices and high interest rates. He noted the frequent price fluctuations in the market, especially in commodities like seafood and dairy, which directly impact his business operations.
