When he politicizes the issue, it’s hard to blame Joe Citizen on Twitter for doing so. It’s like a backdoor form of free advertising/ free campaigning swap. It has to be a violation. But he has gotten away with much worse in Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either Trump is getting paid to endorse a product then I suspect that it would be some type of violation. If neither is getting any type of compensation then I am afraid that both Trumps are free to have their pictures made with whatever products they want.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Interesting how sensitive folks are about conversations in a political forum usually focusing on a sitting, Twitter-addicted POTUS. Even people who claim to be in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping they renew unemployment. I think I’ve seen where they are proposing making it where it either won’t pay more than someone makes By lowering it from $600 a week to whatever plus the state benefits. That’s the way it needed to be originally, but supposedly that would be too complicated to implement. Hell I know people that still haven’t even been able to get through all the red tape to get their benefits. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
