    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?

        Yea, but he showed up at the employee entrance and won’t leave. They were in the middle of unloading the food truck too, no one got the complementary breakfast today

          Yep, and your home is your castle: you have the right to mag dump your gold plated desert eagle pistoleros at anyone who you’re afraid is looking at it.

          Crap, now I want White Castle sliders.

        They’re the work of the devil. They always used to say they fold, but now suddenly they’re tables? Are they tables or do they fold? Why don’t they know what they are?

          Crooked folding tables is what I call em. And a lot of people will say they never stand up right. They’ll tell you, “I never trust those folding tables”. They’re losers. Total losers

      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.

      Plot twist: the products were placed by competing brands because they knew the product placement would backfire

        Good news! Post people donate heavily to Dems and not much to Republicans… Not sure about the dark money though… No idea why he’s got breakfast there… Think he might be losing it

      Any chance their campaign just randomly grabbed stuff from the grocery store and put them there? Not sure the companies approved of this display. They do the same thing with music at Trump rallies. They just assume they can use it.

        It’s from a clip where Trump is showing the price changes for the items everyday Americans purchase, there were more tables with toilet paper, bread, milk, cheese, etc. He was saying that Kamala Harris was responsible for how expensive everything got and that it would continue if she wins.

          Sure, I understand that. Just not so sure that the companies approved the use of their products as props.

        They probably did… Folgers and Jimmy Dean are pretty right-wing, but Post gives mostly to Dems according to open secrets… I don’t know about the others

    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.

    Wow, look at that guy. He’s old and looks to be suffering from some form of cognitive disorder. Is he having a stroke? Is it dementia? Too much adderall? He should drop out and seek treatment. It’s just sad.
