Scott Baio has found one place where he isn't in charge: His local Starbucks.
Later, he retweeted photos from followers who used "Trump" in lieu of their own names at Starbucks and a random fast food restaurant, and took credit for starting the "give the Trump name" trend. Over the weekend, Baio told Fox News he's a fan of Trump because the Republican frontrunner is a "straight shooter" and "when he talks, I understand him." Starbucks has not commented on the issue, and in the barista's defense, she was probably just really confused as to why he didn't want the cup to say "Charles."
