      It’s satire, but saying it’s gonna happen now for real is a safe bet. (the coupons, not his pet asking to stop it)

    Trumps method is to use his platform to yell to the world that “Depends” causes autism and gives you cancer. Stock tanks and then Trump buys up most stock and BOOM! he has his own warehouse full of “Depends”. That’s why the Whitehouse doan kneed your steenkink coupons! /s

      The century of leaded gasoline, high carbon fensity in air, and microplastics in every measurable quantity of water has nothing to do with it.

        You do realize we are exposed to way more and worse chemicals than they were in previous generations? I don’t know what world you think you are living in, that after they phased out lead they didn’t allow more and worse ones in with little to no protections, based on industry funded research that starts backwards from it’s safe to design studies.

        It’s way worse now than you realize.

          Sorry, I’m saying The same thing as you.

          We’ve never had this plastic pollution, nor rampant aerosolized lead, nor any number of chemicals we’re exposed to.

          We did something about the lead, mostly, but the amount of chemicals a human is exposed to now is unprecedented in our evolution.

      Americans are more used to using brands rather than product names.

      An European would just ask for ibruprofen and swallow whatever brand they throw on the counter, where an american would ask for Advil ( and from what I heard they often think anything else not to have the same effect. )

        Very true. My mother in law calls it motrin. If I ask if she wants ibruprofen for a back pain, she says “no, but do you have any motrim”. It’s been like 20 years, she still can’t get it in her head that they are the same thing. Even advil is different in her mind.

        Trump needs more than one. If I refer to multiple go-pros, I add an S as well. I don’t think our boy Nelson has anything to do with this one.

          PLEASE do not give Trump even one GoPro. God knows what would come of that. 😆

        I think it is more like the unrelated, and annoying, phenomenon where people inexplicably add an ‘s’ to brand names. I swear if I hear my in-laws tell me about their stuff from “Aldis” one more time I’ll lose it.

      Oh, I’m sure the US taxpayer is somehow footing the bills for those. We always pay full price on anything relating to trump.

    Reverse psychology, brokey can’t afford them anymore and is “owning the libs” by getting them to send him freebies.
