    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.

      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.

    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.

    Imagine the outrage from Faux News if Biden endorsed a product while sitting at his Oval Office desk

    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.
