    This has to be the result of yes-men surrounding him. This was absolutely his idea, in his mind it would change everyone’s opinion of him being above the common person. Any PR person would have seen this as the disaster it was, but they can’t tell him no directly. It’s like the captain of the Titanic, only he’s steering into the iceberg. Let him cook (literally), just don’t eat anything.

    But still go vote. Nothing is a given, even a sinking ship.

      I know someone who works in corporate McDonalds and the whole organization is pissed. Corporate didn’t bless this. They have an internal saying, “were not red or blue, were golden.” Meaning they stay out of politics. They don’t want to be anywhere near this shit

      Your view is blinkered.

      This has gotten Trump more press coverage than any advertising or rallies.

      This only looks stupid to people who have already decided to vote for Harris.

        Any PR is good, right? I can see that point if a person doesn’t look at the details, and true, his supporters wouldn’t, or wouldn’t be shown much through their preferred sources. I do find it hard to believe there aren’t any Trump supporters that aren’t wavering to some degree.
