    Remember Trump 1.0 selling beans straight from the White House?

    Apart from that, TSLA most certainly is not good to bet on, despite its owner being one of the richest and most powerful people in the USA rn.

      It‘s a bad bet because he is so insanely rich and powerful. Just take a look at Putin‘s Gasprom. Oligarchs know how to extract money out of a company before lesser oligarchs can get their hands on it. Avoid any stocks that are too close to the government right now.

        It is frankly a terrible business move for a company to align itself with the government.

        I think it is funny that Zuck decided to align himself with the administration. I’m sure it was to avoid being thrown under the bus by Trump but I don’t think it is helping there general PR.

      I do not remember trump selling beans. It honestly sounds more like something from the Carter playbook. I can imagine Carter with a nice little bean farm. I cannot envision trump doing even miniscale farming.

        Carter literally had a peanut farm. It was so controversial that a president would own a farm that he sold it to avoid a conflict of interest.

          Yeah…I feel like you think you’re explaining some radical new information, when that same information is the foundation of my comment to begin with.

          Thanks Captain Plot-Summary!

          This is the jackpot Snopes employees live for.

          Long after Skynet gains self-awareness the people of the corpocracy will look at the picture and say: is this how we got here?

        What does farming have to do with anything? It was a paid endorsement, an infomercial run by the sitting President of the US. It’s disgusting.

      I turn those around every time I go to the store now. They are “Goya” beans, and they are very shy.
