The sitting president of the United States doing a commercial from the White House for a company headquartered in Puerto Rico - the same Puerto Rico where he tossed rolls of paper towels to people after a hurricane destroyed their country.

I'm 99% sure it is. The only hesitation is that the Trump presidency was so unhinged that you could make all manner of nonsense up and it would seem truthy. There was a whole thing where the owner of Goya beans endorsed him or something and Trump and his cult got really weird about buying and promoting Goya products for like a month.

Oh. Yeah. I'm jealous you don't remember this whole scandal. Goya was linked to some far right ideals, but I forget the details. Bad enough I stopped buying goya.

Trump is an immense piece of shit. It’s like all the shit from the population of the USA distilled into one being.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you raised a person with zero adversity in their lives, never told them no, never had them face consequences for any of their reprehensible behavior, and gave them everything they wanted as soon as they wanted it? Well you don't have to wonder anymore! Trump and Muskrat are two shining examples of the outcome from that thought experiment. Unfortunately they exist in reality, and not just a limited thought experiment, and they have incredible power and influence.
