No, it isn't

Its more of a "rule" thats up to interpretation, and depends alot on payment

President seen using a certain brand of golf clubs IS an endorsement but its fine
First Lady wear a certain designer's clothing is allowed

Saying he eats "good ol' boys baked beans" is fine, if thats what he eats

But clearly this is crossing a line from a passing endorsement by use of a product to a full blown commercial advertisement...

 

[RonD]

Why?
He may think its a good American company, that employs good American workers and makes good American food, isn't that what a president is there for, to promote American products

Goya was Founded in 1936 in US of A

President Obama honored Goya for its continued success and commitment to the Hispanic community, the only company to ever be honored by President Obama

Not seeing a problem here

 

[Dirtman]

And if someone in his family were to own stock in said company?

 

[RonD]

That would be fine as long as he or his wife didn't, the optics would be bad but then it would be up to another ethics committee meeting to draw the line between that family member giving money to the Donald for giving for the endorsement

Always comes down to "show me the money"
If you say you like a product its an opinion
If you are PAID to say you like a product its an endorsement

Goya is a privately owned company so no stock to be had. If it wasn't, It'd be an interesting options play...

I am kind of done with Trump and his Covid-19 ideas, they do make funny news stories though

I prefer him to stick with business stuff and some politics

He can't even do that now. He can't seem to make a simple speech without going on a campaign rant about Biden. I'm starting to think Biden doesn't have to campaign, just stay alive. It seems like every time Trump does anything or opens his mouth, Biden goes up in points.

Yup. Ranting like a lunatic might work to get you elected, but once you're there people kinda expect you to actually do the job. Especially during a global crisis. All he knows is ranting lunatic though so god bless him he's sticking with it while the world burns around him. At this point a baked potato could run against him and win. The election is no longer Trump Vs Biden, its come down to "just get this idiot out of office". Biden is just along for the ride.

 

[Curious Hound]

I like that.

"Spud For President!"

"This Spud's For You!"

"Vote For Tater"

 

[Grumpaw]

That definitely has my vote !

On the flip side of this Goya thing... it seems the Hispanic people are going to boycott Goya. The rants have been on the news here. Because the person in charge over at Goya gave Trump an endorsement of some sort.

I fully expect Pelosi and company will waste a bunch of dollars to start another impeachment process they have no chance of winning.

I'm sick of all of it...

Being a recluse is finally paying off, all this didn't change my lifestyle much. It actually improved it, No FOMO!
