‘The silence is deafening’: Major brands avoid Trump even as he promotes them from the White House

[dherd]

In a scene probably worth millions of dollars in free advertising, President Trump displayed a spread of burgers from some of the country’s biggest fast-food chains inside the State Dining Room of the White House on Monday as hungry football players looked on.

With cameras rolling, he offered a presidential endorsement of “all-American” restaurants including McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A and Wendy’s.

But the companies haven’t been quick to return the affection or attempt to cash in on the presidential product placement, with McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A and Wendy’s all remaining silent about Trump’s endorsements. When Trump held a similar event in January, Burger King was the only company to reference it on social media — by mocking Trump for misspelling the word hamburger in a tweet.

“[D]ue to a large order placed yesterday, we’re all out of hamberders,” Burger Kingtweeted

That's the Democrat Mantra. Give everybody a trophy. Trump gives us all the chance to win. I am winning, how about you?

WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT

BUT

JUST IN THE LAST WEEK:

Late last week, Trump flew home empty-handed from a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi — and, within days,new satellite images appeared to showthat the North was secretly rebuilding a rocket-launching site.

On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that unauthorized border crossings have spiked to the highest pace in 12 years— despite Trump’s hard-line rhetoric and new policies aimed at deterring migrants.

Wednesday, the Commerce Department said that the nation’s trade deficit is at a record high— in part due to punitive tariffs Trump imposed on allies and adversaries. Trump vowed throughout his 2016 campaign and during his presidency to shrink the trade deficit, which he views as a measure of other nations taking advantage of the United States.

The president shut down parts of the federal government for 35 days — the longest such closure in U.S. history

On trade, Trump’s tariff war with China has harmed U.S. farmers as Beijing slashed agricultural imports.

on North Korea, officials have said, the president’s decision to rush forward with bilateral summits with Kim have led to difficulties for U.S. negotiators engaging with their counterparts over technical and complicated nuclear matters, as Kim has preferred to deal directly with Trump.

the tax cut has not met GOP projections for economic growth and could add significantly to the ballooning federal deficit.

“The reality is he can’t point to a single thing that’s better today than when he came to office,”

I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH MORE OF CROOKED DONALDS TRUMPS LOOSING STREAK WE CAN TAKE.
