     Another rich white guy has put a loafer in his mouth.
     No...it wasn't billionaire Donald Trump.
     It's the founder and CEO of the USA's Papa John's Pizza...John Schnatter.
     In August...Schnatter...with an estimated net worth of $600 million...claimed he would have to fire people...or cut back their hours...to pay for Obamacare.
      Forbes estimated Papa John's burdensome new health care costs...at $.034 -$.046 per pizza.
      Since the election...the internet has gone wild with memes mocking Schnatter.
      Some on Reddit...are even calling for a boycott of Papa John's.
      ALSO...always outspoken...relentlessly self promoting billionaire white guy...Donald Trump isn't faring too well in the digital world either.
      An online petition...with over 615,000 signatures...wants Macy's with its 800 department stores...to end its long association with Donald Trump...and stop selling his clothing line. 
       Many Obama supporters are angered by Trump's recent tweets claiming fraudulent vote counts and calling for 'revolution'...after Obama's re-election.
      Trump's repeated and insistent demands for President Obama's proof of USA birth also riled many.
      But Macy's...so far... refuses to dump 'the donald'.
