Did these brands actually endorse Trump, or did he just yank them off the pantry shelf for a photo op?
He was using them as props for how inflation has raised prices of consumer goods.
He brings up inflation for a fraction of his speech, then mostly talks about immigrants, complains about non-issues with the Democratic party, lies about electric trucks, and complains about wind turbines killing birds.
Edit: he also said he wanted to take the Cheerios home after the speech since he hadn't eaten them for years.
There's no way he didn't take money from those brands
There are competing brands there. And by 2024, I have a feeling most brands that aren't being run by ideologues know there's way more risk being associated with Trump then not.
