The sitting president of the United States doing a commercial from the White House for a company headquartered in Puerto Rico - the same Puerto Rico where he tossed rolls of paper towels to people after a hurricane destroyed their country.

Wait. That's a real picture...?

I'm 99% sure it is. The only hesitation is that the Trump presidency was so unhinged that you could make all manner of nonsense up and it would seem truthy. There was a whole thing where the owner of Goya beans endorsed him or something and Trump and his cult got really weird about buying and promoting Goya products for like a month.

Yes, it’s a real picture.

Same in our house, and we used to have all kinds of Goya stuff. Fortunately, it's never been that high quality to begin with and can be easily replaced by alternatives.
