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.

Wait. That's a real picture...?
Yes. His daughter made a post like this too
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.
And that deserves a replay.

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.
And I purposefully haven't bought anything from the treason bean co since.
Same in our house, and we used to have all kinds of Goya stuff. Fortunately, it's never been that high quality to begin with and can be easily replaced by alternatives.
They are easily replaced in my kitchen.
I always thought this was funny since like 99% of Trump supporters would rather die than ever buy anything from the "ethnic" food aisle at the grocery store lol
The only reason this happened is because the CEO of Goya declared himself a Trump supporter.
Damn, I really like several of their products but forgot all about the trump endorsement. I guess I have to go back to Aldi beans and a few other alternatives
What’s crazy is that even tho I hate this shitweasel I didn’t throw away all the Goya shit I had at home or burn it in a pit out back.
It's crazy, I just silently stopped buying them without a single social media post.
Shit, I guess this ruined that streak
No social media outrage? Smh
Because you used them all for 12g shotgun practice?
Imagine the outrage from Faux News if Biden endorsed a product while sitting at his Oval Office desk
I am not thinking about thos beans
Ya know, I'm still kinda pissed that last summer I had some Goya cookies in my room and my dad had taken them probably thinking I wouldn't notice they disappeared. It was only a couple left in the package, but I'm still pissed about it.
Edit:
After reading some of the comments here and all that, I have decided it's not something I should hold a grudge for... Because of the brand, not because he's my dad.
I sometimes forget that this picture exists, and then I happen upon it in places like here and it just smacks me in the face how perfectly it encapsulates the total and utter loss of decorum in politics. I mean it was never perfect obviously, but in past times there was a somewhat reasonable expectation of politicians being civil and them losing their office if they were publicly caught out not to be. It was rare, but it happened. Yet here you have the supposedly "most powerful man in the world" just dropping every pretence and hustling for some company in a flagrant abuse of his office. It's so brazenly corrupt. And the worst thing is this was just another Tuesday for Trump, mild shit-storm, on to the next fucked up thing he did. Society never even had time to realise what a historic moment this was. It was just dropped on the pile.
