    This is actually so gross. Do companies like Instant Pot think this will make people outside of the States like them any better? I wanted an Instant Pot but they can go to hell now. Like hell I’m supporting a company supporting a president threatening annexation of my country

    I’m amazed it took them this long to realize that his subjects will literally buy anything with this name on it.

    Well, fuck Instant Pot, I guess. My friend loves hers, but now I can never buy one. Might need to tell her to get rid of hers.

    What’s a good alternative?

    Also, fuck Lenox.

    One of the companies, Instant Pot Brands, noted that “a portion of the profits from” its forthcoming collection “will be donated to the Trump Presidential Library.” Instant Pot, which makes kitchen and home appliances, said in its release that it will offer a “45/47 Collaboration,” including various items branded with those numbers and Trump’s “Make America Great Again” tagline.

    Yes, that a perfect name, let’s call them collaborators.

    I love this! Companies are doing the hard work for me of knowing which products I shouldn’t buy with trump contamination warning labeling right on the package? More of this please!

    Olson said. “All of these companies, including those not listed such as LLFlex and Anchor Hocking, are extremely supportive of President Trump and the MAGA Agenda,

    See? This is usually how I have to figure out what companies to boycott. Anchor Hocking is now on my “never buy again” right next to Goya.

    “Instant Pot Brands” (and others)

    Noted. I have now stopped recommending these. It’s a shame, the device itself is ok. But I’m sure there are alternatives.
