    I love that he is appearing in front of A white house. Not THE White House but his base won’t care. The vibes are right, ya know?

        Well, technically there are a shit ton of shitty subsidiaries. There are only like six companies, period. Which is a problem in and of itself. And it turns out all six are shitty.

        To be honest, it’s not so much shitty companies, but shitty purchasing decisions

        I wouldn’t buy any products from any brands listed there because I know they’re cheap, over-processed junk. Literally everything there.

        If you’re buying that stuff because it’s cheaper, you need to learn about nutrition. You can get far more calories/nutrients/minerals/protein from slightly more expensive products, costing you less overall

          …? Did you even look at the picture? That’s 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.

      I’m still on the buycott for Kelloggs after they dropped breittbart so all I buy is special k. Unless they’ve changed something since then.

      Edit. Looking it up, looks like they were doing alrightish but then they busted a union. On the other hand Post is working with trump, and general mills has been working with Israeli settlements. I guess you can go with some small brands. I’ll still buy Kelloggs until I hear they change paths on breitbart since it’s what I’d been doing.

    It’s not product placement. Trump’s campaign staff is making a vain attempt to get Trump to talk about the issues rather than all the ineffective personal attacks and name calling.

    They’ve been writing speeches to get Trump to talk about inflation. This time they added some props to force him to talk about how these items cost more now. Of course Trump only spent a few minutes saying something vague about inflation and then regressed back to his typical ramblings about how if Kamala gets elected the world will end or whatever.

    Ideally this kind of message would work better if Trump was in a grocery store, but he doesn’t venture from his two homes very often these days, so they set up a table in front of his Golf course so he could talk about it there. So it looks like product placement, but it’s just a vain attempt to get Trump to deliver some kind of economic message.

      I don’t know if those companies had any say in whether their products were used, but this wasn’t supposed to be for advertising. It was supposed to be a gimmick for what was stated to be a message on the economy, but the orange atrocity personified saw a squirrel and the whole address ended up being the same whiny bullshit.

    There are dozens more on a table to the left side out off camera. Is it confirmed these brands had any prior knowledge of are actually publicly backing trump?

    I am fully aware the personal pocket books of the heads of these companies are deep for the GOP.

      Yeah, I have no idea if this means something, or if Politics Gallagher there just brought out some props for “muh inflation” before smashing them with a sledgehammer.

    God damn it Johnsonville are the only halfway decent bratwurst my nowhere grocery carries. Guess it’ll be the rare time I find them at a farmers market.

    GOD DAMN IT
