“The Trump administration’s ‘beanpocalypse’, was kicked off by Ivanka Trump after she posted a highly meme-able photo of herself holding a can of Goya beans with the caption ‘if it’s Goya, it has to be good’ in English and Spanish. The tweet declaring loyalty to Goya follows online uproar after the company’s CEO praised the president during a White House conference, and potentially broke ethics laws on the president’s daughter promoting any product, business or enterprise. OK, that news is shocking – there are still ethics laws?” Even worse, Trump followed up with a Goya photo of his own at his desk in the White House. I mean, I’m glad the president is using his desk for probably the first time in months, but come on guys – you’ve got to admit, this is pretty embarrassing. The dude doesn’t look like a president, he looks like a local athlete who retired 15 years ago and is desperate for money. Seriously, this shit looks like the end of The Shining if the movie was sponsored by bodegas.” —Trevor Noah
“And it’s crazy how everything has become politicized these days, even beans! Liberals are out there saying, ‘Boycott the beans,’ and the Trump fans are like, ‘We’re going to elect this can of beans to Congress!’” —Trevor Noah
“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
