Apparently the pic is real. The pic, the smile, the thumbs-up. The thumbs-up is especially revolting, even as 75,600 new cases appear. Nice going, Donald.

This is the k8nd of crippledv"logic" that drives me nuts. First, what does Trump having his picture taken with a can of beans have to do with the virus, and second, you blame Trump for the virus.yet you completely ignore the real reason the picture was taken in the first place. I actually have my doubts that you even know why the picture was made.

Even if you could freely invent reasons, there is no reason, not even an imaginary one, that would justify a photo like that.

OK, that photo shows up on Trump's own instagram account, so unless it was hacked it seems to be real indeed.

What. The. Fuck.

The CEO of Goya didn't obey the Left. He dared to say something positive about Trump. The Left demanded he take back his positive comments about Trump and apologize for defending Trump or they would boycott his products. The CEO told them in so many words to kiss his ass, and the Left launched all out war against the man. But it backfired. Goya's sales went through the roof, and Trump is throwing it in the Left's face.

I think it's hilarious. It makes the Lefty's little heads implode.

Oh yes, there's a very good reason.

Jolly

And if they don't like it, fuck 'em.

There is nothing Trump can do to make some people like him or even consider his policies with anything more than Orange Man Bad! Even among us, I pretty much proved that a few days ago, asking the general board what policies Trump favored.

Me and Rainman both would have written what Loki did but Loki wrote it first, so we didn’t have to.

President Trump has no awareness of his actions beyond how they personally help him. He is so blinded by his ego and, what is the word, narcissist, that it really does fog up his decision making.

"The left is so horrible, he had no choice but to hawk beans from the Oval Office"

"The left complains no matter what he does, so he might as well sell canned goods from the Resolute desk"

I've said it before, but one of the worst aspects of Trumpism is to watch his supporters continuously debase themselves by by coming to his defense.

Horace

I think Trump’s symbiotic relationship is with the people he trolls into reflexively calling him a narcissist etc as much as it is with his base. That said, I think his trolling of pop culture is less and less politically viable. But he is aware that he is trolling a large segment of the country with those sorts of pictures.

I figured the photo was simply an acknowledgement of what the word 'trump' is slang for in proper (i.e. British) English.

I also figured his supporters would find excuses for this totally ludicrous behaviour.

Jolly

I also figure I don't care if you like it or not. I thought it was a wonderful poke in the cancel culture eye.

At the same time, I can't really foresee any situation in which you'd think he made a major mistake, about anything.

That picture with the cans is genius, pure genius.

We are so lucky to have a genius as president.

Wow a great response to the brain-dead, deranged left!

Yeah, what the hell, screw the Office of the Presidency.

I know Americans love to ~~defile~~ mess with the English language, but you really need to find a different word. He's posing with some beans, not redefining how we think of gravity or writing a 9th symphony.

Horace

lol he couldn't even get it right after 8 tries and had to start over again a 9th time. what a loser.

Please tell me how Trump having his picture taken with a can of beans harmed you in any way.
