So let's see. You got Robert Unanue who donates to Republican causes going to the White House and you want him to do what? Speak ill of the President? I'm just amazed.

And to celebrate......
I just made a pot of chili.
With Goya beans.

Me thinks some people are disturbed by a president posing for photos with some companies products. It's easy to see why.

A Bundeskanzler doing so would lose his position within three days. Guaranteed.

Its not about what the Goya CEO does or did, says or said. If he wants to make a clown of himself, so be it. Plenty of people do that these days.

Its about what the Trumps did to answer his favour. Its about the ridiculing of the office of POTUS.

I think Dems fear too much success of minority businesses or moving into the middle class. Tho the GOP doesn't get much of the black or Hispanic vote, the percentage they get tend to be the minority working class and business owners. This is of course concerning for Dems...

It's disturbing the election will hinge around black beans now. Personally I prefer all of my beans having been democratically elected to enter my can and vetted as politically correct beans that are not GMO and were killed humanely without using child labor.

Hahaha, great summation, Catfish

Man, Trump is really lagging in the polls, I've heard he's 14 points down in some key states. It seems to make sense, his handling of the pandemic is terrible and he's so tone deaf on the protests, I wonder if the polls are right this time...

President Biden: who doesn't even know what state he's in.

Today, it gives me great honor, and by the way, we’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder, and that’s what my grandfather did. He came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper. We have an incredible builder, and we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country that we will continue to prosper and to grow.
Seems pretty normal to me. Oh wait, he said something nice about the OrangeManBad. That must be it.

Meanwhile back in 2012 Michele Obama as part of her Let's Move! initiative, partnering with the same Robert Unanue to promote one of her causes. Same guy. Same company. Different result.

Yeah, this is more about the cancel culture and woked left not being happy with anyone who expresses an opinion different than their own. If you say something they don't like, >>>YOU MUST BE STOPPED<<<

And they better be black beans that are home grown and native to Amurican soil.

You don't understand what is going on in the USA these days.

Absolutely nothing wrong with what POTUS did. Leftys tried to start some stupid boycott based on a ridiculous reason. Everyone who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome piled on, but as far as I can see the boycott is having no effect on sales.

The only ones who think the boycott is working are Hollywood celebrities and Media elites, but none of them would ever buy Goya products in their everyday lives.

What you don't get is that Trump is rubbing it in to the Rabid anti-Trumpers (tm) that the boycott is a bust.

No? When you cough, two weeks later over here we get the flu. The many vogues and modes swap from the US to us, only rarely the other way around. I promise you the average Middle European knows more about the US and its politics than the average American knows about European nations. Ameicans, most of them, do not care for the world poutside. But the world outside cannot afford to not care for whats goping on in the US.

Favoritism is okay in American politics, okay, understood. Your own ethics watchdog disagrees on that, but okay, they probably all are Latinos. I mean lefties.

And here I thought the driving force behind the boyott were the Latinos.

Certainly almost everyone suffers from Trump, but that it is a derangement syndrome, can be argued.

No, the only one he is serving here is his die-hard harccore fans.

Anyoiw, most of what you mention, is irrelevant. What is relevant is that it is not POTUS' job or does not respect the authority and dignity of this position if he poses like a salesman in a TV commercial only to answer the favour of a loyal minion. Like it is not appropriate to suspend the law to reward a loyal liar who was to serve his penalty in prison, or to hinder law investigation, or to call names before runnign cameras and open mikes.

No manner,s no style, and liike every spociopath: no understanding whatever for "right" and "wrong", no code of morals, no empathy, no nothing. Just five capital golen letters: T-R-U-M-P.

Dogdirt has more grace and dignity.
