Related: About this forumBlast From The Past: McDonald's Commercial Featuring Grimace And The 'Hamberdeler.'
More like Grimace and the Turd-Burglar.Remember the good old days, when Trump just shamelessly promoted artery-clogging junk food on his OWN time? As opposed to turning the White House into a free advertisement for McDonalds, and PapaJohn's pizza?
One of Trump's main rally attack-lines is to trash political correctness, to the cheers of belligerent hillbillies in MAGA hats. And, apparently, public officials encouraging people to eat more healthy foods has become part of the politically correct enemy that must be destroyed at all costs.
Michelle Obama grew vegetables in the White House garden, and encouraged kids to eat more healthy foods. Including school lunches. Therefore, because Trump MUST do the opposite of everything the Obamas did, he just has to invite the Clemson Tigers football team over for a photo op, and feed them a banquet table filled with shit in cardboard boxes. Being finely conditioned athletes, they politely eat it, and then spend the next two weeks trying to run the trans-fats and cholesterol out of their arteries.
Okay, so eating healthier foods is now a 'LIBERAL' thing that must be fought against. Got it.
Back story: Burger King mocks Trump's spelling of 'Hamberders,' in a tweet about him force feeding the Clemson Tigers junk food at a White House event.

(5,955 posts)Trump tweets that butcher the English language aren't a big deal, though. But Burger King actually mocked the tweet. So, now I'm waiting for Trump to start calling it "The FAILING Burger King."

They should be held liable for causing an accident by the car they spew black smoke on because it obstructs the vision of other drivers.

He probably did it for the cash and some complimentary Big Macs.

(25,183 posts)I do NOT remember that commercial, chances are, they only ran it in east coast markets that knew who Trump was back in the day, rather than in the Pacific Northwest, where I was living.
That said, I have two objections to the slew of threads on this topic today. The first is, it is only one letter th at has been changed. It should be well known by now that dyslectic people sometimes substitute "D" for "G" and the other way around. What we're doing is making fun of dyslexia. It's like making fun of Chris Christie being of large size, it is about something other than what is in his mind, and comes out of his mouth, that he has full control over.
The other objection is that this whole Clemson/fast-food thing is just another clever ploy to divide us. I hope that late-night comedians will not take the bait, but I fear otherwise. Ordinary Americans eat fast-food on a regular, even if infrequent basis, and it will be too easy for Trump to call out his detractors as being tofu-eating food snobs. We saw how Trump played the whole NFL-should-stand-for-the-flag thing, and he gained from that. I feqqar it is a trap that some of us are only too willing to walk into.
Trump's game is to ALWAYS divide and conquer. We need to keep that in mind every time we respond to something he does that looks foolish.

(5,955 posts)Trump was actually in a LOT of commercials for crap. As the poster above stated, that pretty much proves he's not, nor has he ever been a billionaire. He only PLAYS a successful businessman on TV. You don't see REAL billionaires doing pizza commercials.
About the other points you made, I don't think Trump has dyslexia. (I do, by the way. Small world.) He's just a moron who never paid much attention to spelling, always had clerks and secretaries to catch his spelling errors in the past. He's actually disabled the spell corrector on his phone because it would be constantly lighting everything up, and slowing down his rage tweeting. He can't blame spelling "smocking gun" several times on dyslexia.
I agree with the other point. The junk food is a distraction. As long as the MSM spends most of their time talking about the Russian conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and money laundering; then and only then would I want them to dwell on the junk food distraction.
Here's a collection of commercials featuring Trump selling crap.
