“YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post. “Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out!”

So, I conclude that Trump pays people to endorse him regularly. Quick, we need to audit the Nuge and Kid Rock....

This dude shilled Tesla on the WH lawn, and beans from the Oval Office. It's okay, corporations aren't people!

[-] scottrepreneur@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

A specific pillow company would like a shill too please

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago

Don't forget the late Hulk Hogan

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 26 points 3 days ago

I have been trying to forget about the Hulkster for years.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago

Prosecute them for what? Also, I cannot put my finger on it...what is something all of these people share?

Taco is really losing his mind over his child-raping scandal.

Just your regular reminder that the President of the United States is deranged.

[-] kinsnik@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

Just your regular reminder that the President of the United States is ~~deranged~~ in the Epstein Files and trying to distract.

Just your regular reminder that Trump Rapes Children.

Beyoncé and Oprah own media production companies. These companies were hired to help produce and stream media events. If it’s a problem for the campaign to hire companies that are headed by people who have favor the candidate, then, oh boy, does The Trump Organization have a lot of ‘splaining to do.

[-] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 26 points 3 days ago

He won’t explain anything. He will put them in alligator Auschwitz and no one will do anything.

[-] rauls5@lemmy.zip 64 points 3 days ago

Epstein is all that matters now. He will be creating more distractions.

[-] alaphic@lemmy.world 56 points 3 days ago

Ok, so, at what point can we finally take grandpa's license away? Seriously

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Put him in the home already!

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 53 points 3 days ago

It's another tactic to distract the media's attention away from the Epstein affair. Whatever Trump's involvement in this must be something to behold.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 35 points 3 days ago

What do they have in common?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago

That they aren't the epstein files

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 2 days ago

Well, Beyonce and Kamala aren't.

Oprah I wouldn't be so sure.

[-] AlecSadler 28 points 2 days ago

They're not white. Otherwise he would have added Taylor Swift.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

So this is the distraction you're going to attempt, because you're in the Epstein files and were briefed on that months ago... Release them!

I see a pattern...

[-] kylie_kraft@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

temporarily embarrassed fascist attempts distraction by offering famous black women as targets, how unexpected.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

I hope this backfires and he gets absolutely fucked by their law squads

[-] vegeta@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I guess Taylor Swift gets a pass because Trump figured she could not see it coming.

/s or something

[-] 0li0li@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago
[-] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 9 points 3 days ago

And a billionaire.

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 3 days ago

I mean, from all the shit I've heard about Oprah, 1/3 isn't bad.

Just saying, if there was a way to direct the path of the mad cow's rampage, she's the ideal target.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
