From the Semaphore article: 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.

Why does this fuck want to be involved in cell phones and kitchen appliances?

People deserve what they get if they buy something that was made by Donald Trump

Didn’t they go bankrupt a few years ago?

Anyways, what a stupid and corrupt idea.

Ha! Jokes on them, they made their shit so good it's never gonna break so I won't ever have to give them a cent. Fuck you instantpot.

That's what I hear but mine has failed to seal and messed up my Spanish rice twice. Fool me once, shame on me? Maybe there was some hidden gunk blocking the mechanism. Nope. After a thorough clean and successful seal test the same thing happened. Fool me twice, and you don't get a third chance to ruin an hour of prep and all those ingredients. I'm definitely not replacing it now, though. That's for sure.

You know the main seals are replaceable, right? They're a wear item. I think we've replaced ours 2x in 10 years of frequent use.

Like I said, it seals just fine. It just fails to sometimes.

It just fails to sometimes

Apparently it doesn’t seal just fine.

Listen, if he actually makes them I'd be half tempted to buy a few so that he'll spend more time working a real job and regain some sense of reality.

Haha j/k, Trump hasn't done an honest day's work in his life.

God DAMNIT I was just looking to get one of these. I need a multicooker.

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 hours ago

There's plenty of alternate brand pressure cookers.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 3 points 5 hours ago

Get a pressure cooker instead. Donald isn't going to make a pressure cooker.
