Well, technically there are a shit ton of shitty subsidiaries. There are only like six companies, period. Which is a problem in and of itself. And it turns out all six are shitty.

To be honest, it’s not so much shitty companies, but shitty purchasing decisions
I wouldn’t buy any products from any brands listed there because I know they’re cheap, over-processed junk. Literally everything there.
If you’re buying that stuff because it’s cheaper, you need to learn about nutrition. You can get far more calories/nutrients/minerals/protein from slightly more expensive products, costing you less overall

Time to boycott all those companies. Added to the list that includes Goya.
FanciestPants@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I don’t know if those companies had any say in whether their products were used, but this wasn’t supposed to be for advertising. It was supposed to be a gimmick for what was stated to be a message on the economy, but the orange atrocity personified saw a squirrel and the whole address ended up being the same whiny bullshit.
Grilipper54@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Johnsonville certainly supports this, I’m not sure about the others. I boycotted Johnsonville for a long time because of their financial support for Walker in Wisconsin years ago.

Yet it’s that fat fuck’s lack of attention to pandemic profiteering that led to the inflation. The last 4 years have been trying to mitigate the effects of his half-assed handling of the situation.
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Isn’t it always funny that the last 2 Democrat presidents inherited absolute economic shit shows from republicans and managed to turn things around only to be blamed for causing the problems that were left to them…

It’s not product placement. Trump’s campaign staff is making a vain attempt to get Trump to talk about the issues rather than all the ineffective personal attacks and name calling.
They’ve been writing speeches to get Trump to talk about inflation. This time they added some props to force him to talk about how these items cost more now. Of course Trump only spent a few minutes saying something vague about inflation and then regressed back to his typical ramblings about how if Kamala gets elected the world will end or whatever.
Ideally this kind of message would work better if Trump was in a grocery store, but he doesn’t venture from his two homes very often these days, so they set up a table in front of his Golf course so he could talk about it there. So it looks like product placement, but it’s just a vain attempt to get Trump to deliver some kind of economic message.
ganksy@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
There are dozens more on a table to the left side out off camera. Is it confirmed these brands had any prior knowledge of are actually publicly backing trump?
I am fully aware the personal pocket books of the heads of these companies are deep for the GOP.
