    Did these brands actually endorse Trump, or did he just yank them off the pantry shelf for a photo op?

      He was using them as props for how inflation has raised prices of consumer goods.

      He brings up inflation for a fraction of his speech, then mostly talks about immigrants, complains about non-issues with the Democratic party, lies about electric trucks, and complains about wind turbines killing birds.

      Edit: he also said he wanted to take the Cheerios home after the speech since he hadn’t eaten them for years.

          There are competing brands there. And by 2024, I have a feeling most brands that aren’t being run by ideologues know there’s way more risk being associated with Trump then not.
