For the past week, Latinos have warred on social media after the CEO of Goya Foods effusively praised Donald Trump at a White House event. On Wednesday, Trump fueled the controversy by posting this image on Instagram 👇

of his trademarked thumbs up sign of approval as he sat in the Oval Office with an array of Goya products in front of him — appearing to provide an endorsement to a private company from the historic Resolute Desk.

“Not even croquetas would be safe in Joe Biden’s America. Pass it on,” the Trump campaign’s Latino Twitter account, Equipo Trumpo,in reaction to former Labor Secretary Robert Reich calling for a boycott of the company.

“You have all of this fire, all this hatred for President Trump in the Latino community,” Rocha said, “and then you have the most-trusted thing in the Latino household — which is the Goya spices, the Goya beans, everything. And it just was a punch in the gut to see the head of something so culturally iconic for Latinos — Goya — standing up there with the most-hated figure who symbolizes everything going wrong in our society. It was just a tsunami of anger.

It is officially time to stop counting. There are way too many criminal, unethical, impeachable offences to keep track of. The levels to which this narcissist will go. no accountability.

he’s happy cause seanhannity brought him to orgasm through prostate manipulation just seconds earlier

This is what happens when you eat GOYA beans. Shit comes out of this WH ADMIN.

Hatch Act? I hope we can charge him after he's out of office. (If he doesn't flee to Moscow)

How much did GoyaFoods donate to Trump realDonaldTrump Campaign to get the President of the USA to shill their foods. senatemajldr GOPLeader Do you Know?

Illegal use of the office, Donald. A Federal crime. What do you care? realDonaldTrump

So the desk of the leader of our country is now a stage for commercials? TrumpFailsAmerica

Hurrah, Cadet Bone-spur shows his reality 'star' training as he turns the Resolute Desk into a ad prop.

DanKEberhart Classy!!!!! Only in America!

I’m guessing he doesn’t know what beans taste like.

“I love Hispanics!” v.2.0

Donald will eat none of those props. Same as he did with that taco bowl a few years ago.

What an incompetent clown.

So for several days, it has been know Ivanka violated ethics rules with her post of the beans. Now Donald is once again telling the world he is above the law with this picture. Thanks GOP who had the chance to remove this clown.

GoyaFoods will be bankrupt soon. There's no recovering from this pic.

Most people knew he was full of beans already.

Pathetic little Trump and Goya Foods both give me gas

All I know is this is delicious!

He is supporting a Hispanic company. Democrats are hypocrites.

Isn’t the president pushing a certain brand a conflict of interests while in power?

Are going to ignore the fact that that’s a violation of the rules of office?

He will protect black beans in his second term. Go fart yourself.

Latinos? I thought the people who were pissed were rich, white, suburbanite women. They were the idiots who protested by throwing food away instead of donating to the less fortunate.

Disgusting

What s crappy article! Want to to completely ignore the blatant pandering by the Democrats and they bash Trump for showing them how ineffective their attempt at goya cancelculture was?

Good luck, Goya. You are going to need it. Every other food or beverage Trump has tried to peddle has ended in failure. Remember Trump Fire? Trump Power? Trump Vodka? Ever had a Trump Steak? No one has and he still owes Buckhead Beef some $700K for that failure. CucksForTrump

Look, this president will break the law for beans! Good job, guys. 😂

More distraction!!

178,000 just lost their health insurance in Georgia, over 300k covid 19 in fl, 135k dead, and over 43 pages of obituaries in Houston.TrumpIsNotWell

Did it work

He looks thirsty

GoyaMustGO

Callous

It’s really sad when the republicans would sacrifice their careers for a president that’s a habitual liar

Transparent con. Latinos won’t fall fot it.

Disgusting!!!

Disgusting abuse of the Office of President. I’ll say it again - disgusting....

Right... they don’t care about children separated from their parents at the border and living in subhuman conditions or being exposed to Covid. All they care about is beans. Viva Trump!

Obviously he doesn’t know his demographic well enough.

138000 dead and hes trolling with food brands

Meh

No class.

Everything he touched dies! 💀 RIP Goya

I'm going to be sick...

Now we know the White House and Oval Office are for sell, let's talk to GOYA and see what they paid, maybe we can get a better deal with trump on a banner that says: 'Will be under new management January 2020, Joe Biden' trump is such a clown, nothing else to do but photo ops

Donald Trump is a disgrace to the office of President of the United States. The shame he brings upon all of us will take work to scrub off.

Reminds me of a medium-market afternoon movie host on an old UHF TV channel. On weekends he costumes up and works auto dealer parking lots as the local Clarabell. He dreams of a Shopping Channel gig, maybe if he could grease the sales rep with pseudoephed passed off as speed.

I don't care if it is 3:15am and I am watching over-the-air-channel 37, this is without a doubt the lamest home shopping show with the goofiest looking televangelist wannabe washout host ever. click

Beanghazi!

DanKEberhart I bought Goya for the first time after this BS, and it's first rate.

We're eating more Goya, Oh Boyah.

His just a big bully, they probably don’t even eat Goya can food.

Trump can make millions of little socialists-commies piss their panties, with just a simple tweet! ANT LIFE GREAT!

No time to fight covid for the country but still has time for an infomercial. The show never stops......until voters cancel it once and for all!

Illegal

TrumpFailedAmerica

Lies, lies, lies.

We should all feel as outraged as our ancestors did when confronted by King George III of England during the American Revolution and act accordingly.

Democrats wanted to cancel the Goya brand and I bet you. It will hurt them badly in November. Their myopic hypocrisy is there for all to see.

Lol...Trump has eaten deep into the black and Latino votes the Democrats have been taking for granted.

Hey realDonaldTrump i think it’s time to lockYOUandHERup. That would be you and ivankatrump and GOYA too! crook CORRUPTION

“Fueled the controversy “. How about “Violated the Hatch Act”? Do better, Politico.

Can you say desperate.😂 if that smile and those thumbs up don’t scream “ I am a fraud” then I don’t know what to say..maybe that’s a new ad for Ivanka’s new find a new job campaign 🤪

In about a century and a half, once they've rebuilt civilzation, no one will believe this was the president and we just sat around making words with our thumbs about him.

The Office of the President of the United States is reduced to this. A pitchman for a can of beans.

Not legal but he does not care

SenateGOP where you at on the self-promotion? Surely you have things to say....

We have a raging pandemic, double digit unemployment and our POTUS is either protecting statues or selling beans.

Looks to me like your president has been bought

Guess he's just going ahead and kissing that vote gbye.

Goya is fucked. They might survive on MAGA scrapes for a while but long-term, they've lost their customer base. I'll miss you Chipotle Salsita!

DanKEberhart You have the timeline backwards. Figures. Just report the truth.

How can this not be a ethics problem with this president and his family especially Ivanka doing her little smeal about Goya foods. When will someone anyone in any administration or agency stand up to this corrupt crook & family. Anyone except you all just constantly complaining

They’re rapists, murderers, drug smugglers and some are good people working for shitty pay at Trump properties...Goya

Is deadbeat donald getting paid to hype this crap.

trump superspreader alert

No one in his family has ever opened a can of beans in their lives.

Shilling for products from the oval office. Nice. That's about what I'd expect from a second-rate TV host.

Oh, and also, trump hasn’t done a damn thing about Russian bounties on our soldiers and has killed 130k Americans due to a botched response to an epidemic... but keep on the tabloid trash, POLITICO

Give me a break; the Beatles were still together the last time that fat asshole voluntarily ate a serving of something as healthful as Beans

Not buying.

BuyGoya make hummus

Don't worry folks, SenatorCollins assures us that ANY DAY he'll 'learn his lesson' and begin to comply with the ethics guidelines of the office he's been illegally occupying. 🤞

He’s turned the Oval Office into a infomercial...

BEANS ARE NOT INFRASTRUCTURE!

and yet Trump can't be bothered to promote face masks to save people's lives. Trump can only pander to wealthy donors to his campaign.

Well Goya is amazing! Their plantain chips and wafers are even legit BuyMoreGoya BuyGoya

Defend the beans, ignoring soldiers with bounties on their head.

If It's Ivanka, It Has To Be A Cry For AttentionOn Tuesday night, Ivanka Trump tweeted a photo of herself holding a can of Goya brand black beans. Looking just like a model on The Price Is Right (the can cosplaying as the Ultimate Prize), Trump captioned the tweet with Goya Foods' official tagline: “If it’s Goya, it has to be good,” and its Spanish translation, “Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno.” Her face is starting to melt like a candle into her mother's face.
