The other day, MSN had a story saying that for Trump to “endorse any person, product, or organization” would violate long-standing White House ethics norms. I pointed out that Obama has often endorsed Planned Parenthood, specific books, and specific businesses. In this context, “endorse” does not mean signing a formal, paid endorsement contract, but simply praising or recommending something. Once again, the media was making a patently false claim about Obama, saying that he had adhered to this “no endorsement” policy.

I know - I Googled news items about the liberal's attempted boycott of LL Bean and their angry reaction to Trump's endorsement of the company.

One liberal "journalist" leaned a bit too far forward and then had to be reminded that not only is Trump not even President yet (and no such rules would apply), that even when he is President, no such rule applies to him.

So the liberal ranted that "other" Executive branch employees need to be reminded that they cannot endorse specific companies!

Really?

It is bad to support American companies? Since when?

Also, what the hell was this?
