One of the companies, Instant Pot Brands, noted that “a portion of the profits from” its forthcoming collection “will be donated to the Trump Presidential Library.” Instant Pot, which makes kitchen and home appliances, said in its release that it will offer a “45/47 Collaboration,” including various items branded with those numbers and Trump’s “Make America Great Again” tagline.

FFS.

How to make your home as gold-plated and gaudy-without-being-tasteful as is Chump's own home, club, oval office, wherever...

And throw more money at Mafia Don Mangolini in the process.

🤢 🤮

    Ya know I'm usually the last person to advocate for the destruction of libraries, museums, etcetera but can we burn down Trump's fucking so called library. Then shoot anybody who tries rebuilding the waste of space.

    Honestly, I don't believe a "Chump library" will ever exist....

    That fund is just another bribe entry point for those choosing to use that path. Certain he's taking any/all monies in that fund strictly for himself.

    🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️

    Not saying it necessarily will exist while he is alive, but let's not pretend that someone won't build one to try to whitewash his image like with the Reagan and Nixon libraries.

    Yeah, but what papers will they house? Articles about daily infographic briefings, torn up or shredded records, and deleted Signal chats?

    Also, it would be hard to build in his home state of EVERY SINGLE CIRCLE OF HELL. 😐

    will be donated to the Trump Presidential Library

    How much can colouring books and crayons possibly cost?

    Historically, Nazi collaborators were executed.

    Unless they were of particular value, like rocket scientists. I'm not aware of MBAs and CEOs being held in such value.

    In my area, sometimes I’ll see people selling MAGA shit by the side of the road. I’ve considered doing it and sending the proceeds to the ACLU or the Southern Poverty Law Center.

    You could sell literally anything else.

    True, but it wouldn’t be as ironic. I like the idea of tricking fascists into supporting causes they hate.

    I recently took a trip to Tennessee and there were unfortunately quite a few MAGA stores. They also sold Trump crap at the normal tourist trap sort of stores.

    It was a little ironic that most of those tourist traps were run by Indian families.

    This is actually so gross. Do companies like Instant Pot think this will make people outside of the States like them any better? I wanted an Instant Pot but they can go to hell now. Like hell I’m supporting a company supporting a president threatening annexation of my country

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_Brands

    In 2008, Robert Wang, Yi Qin, and one other friend, all former employees of Nortel in Ottawa, Canada, started working on designs for the Instant Pot.[4] Wang is credited as the inventor of the Instant Pot.

    Apparently, the Instant Pot is out of Canada, interestingly enough.

    I love this! Companies are doing the hard work for me of knowing which products I shouldn't buy with trump contamination warning labeling right on the package? More of this please!

    Olson said. “All of these companies, including those not listed such as LLFlex and Anchor Hocking, are extremely supportive of President Trump and the MAGA Agenda,

    See? This is usually how I have to figure out what companies to boycott. Anchor Hocking is now on my "never buy again" right next to Goya.

    Yes, that a perfect name, let's call them collaborators.

    I hope this backfires on these companies and they lose support. I know I won't be buying any of their products.

    "Instant Pot Brands" (and others)

    Noted. I have now stopped recommending these. It's a shame, the device itself is ok. But I'm sure there are alternatives.

    is there an "i bought this before instant pot went crazy" bumper sticker appropriately sized for say a pressure cooker asking for a friend? possibly an embroidered patch?

    Well, fuck Instant Pot, I guess. My friend loves hers, but now I can never buy one. Might need to tell her to get rid of hers.

    What's a good alternative?

    Also, fuck Lenox.

    Goddammit. I use my InstantPot every fkn week. I guess once this one croaks, I’ll try the Ninja version. Friend of mine says it’s great. I’ll do my homework and make sure they don’t openly support slavery or eugenics.
