MY PILLOW guy - God called on Trump

[packman]

The MyPillow CEO and founder told the crowd at the right-wing gathering "As I stand before you today, I see the greatest president in history. Of course he is, he was chosen by God

“Donald Trump invited me to the meet him at Trump Tower in New York City,” Lindell said. “I walked into his office with high hopes on August 15th, 2016. I walked out of that office after meeting with him and I knew God had chosen him for such a time as this.”

Lindell added: “God answered our prayers, our millions of prayers and gave us grace, and a miracle happened on November 8th, 2016. We were given a second chance and time granted to get our country back on track with our conservative values and getting people saved in Jesus name.”

The My Pillow founder went on to say Trump was “chosen by God.”

“As I stand before you today, I see the greatest president in history,” Lindell said of Trump. “Of course he is. He was chosen by god. I see record low unemployment, from African-Americans to hispanics at an all-time low. I see 5 million new jobs created since Donald Trump took office.”

1. As I walked out of my office and turned off my computer

I knew that God had chosen me to tell you Mr. Pillow Guy, that your an idiot and to shut the fuck up.

[mr_lebowski]

8. * You're ... just sayin' ;) (nt)

[Afromania]

2. That guy seems kinda skivvy. Might be sooner, might be later, but that guy is going to jail.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. I'm banking on a deranged sex scandal of some kind.

[Afromania]

9. yup, exactly. The kind that likes to take those trips to other countries..... That or tax fraud.

[The Truth Is Here]

3. In other words, His MyPillow sales are WAY down in the toilet.

Nobody wants to sleep in a cut-up foamy pillow.

[crazycatlady]

4. I slept on one of those once

It was in a guest room, so I had no idea until I was stripping the bed.

It was no different than the $5 Walmart pillows that college kids buy. Not worth the price tag.

[rurallib]

5. anyone need any further explanation about why I am an atheist?

[Maru Kitteh]

7. God told you he doesn't exist?

[rurallib]

15. yes - it was written on a pillow

[Maru Kitteh]

16. I thought God spoke through toasters these days.

But then I did a Google search:

Man sees image of Jesus on drop cloth - WCVB-TV
Texas man sees image of Jesus in tree
Man Sees Jesus-Like Image in San Diego Window - NBC 7 San Diego
Woman sees image of Jesus on the back of a stingray
Man sees image of Jesus on apple found in mom's kitchen
Man Sees Image of Jesus in 7-Eleven Holiday Cup
VISION: Resident cuts orange open and sees image of Jesus and Mary


This all-powerful deity sure does waste a metric crap-ton of time scribbling on things. So many problems in the world. Seems like poor time management to me.

God has too much "Executive Time."

[Maru Kitteh]

36. This melon blows my tomahto out of the water

That was hilarious!

[ooky]

10. They worship him like he is their own version of "The Fuhrer".

[spanone]

11. crooks like crooks.

I wouldn't buy shit from this flim flam man.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Lindell is a pretty dodgy character himself, so it figures that he'd be a Trump fan.

From 2016:

The company behind the legendary infomercial got a wake-up call this week when it was fined $1 million for deceptive advertising practices, charges brought by prosecutors in nine California counties.

Ads for MyPillow are everywhere: The company spends $1.4 million a week on advertising, and more than 18 million pillows have been sold since the company was started 10 years ago, according to a story in the Boston Herald.

But the Minnesota-based company can no longer claim its products can cure, prevent or treat any diseases — without reliable scientific proof. It will pay civil penalties of $995,000 and donate $100,000 to shelters for the homeless and domestic violence victims.

It may indeed be fluffy, but according to a recent lawsuit, the My Pillow does not help with cerebral palsy, PTSD, or acid reflux.

More recently, there's this: https://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/article207904039.html (8 things about the MyPillow guy: his drug past, why Trump loves him, a boycott).

And the Better Business Bureau gave him an F.

[dalton99a]

13. +1

[Wellstone ruled]

32. Thanks for the post,

the Guy is a real fake.


He does have a interesting past to say the least.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. And his pillows suck. They're just shredded foam, not worth the money.

[Wellstone ruled]

35. Oh how they do suck.

Tried to use one last summer at the Rellies.

And as a Business Person,Lindell will BK that company before long,just like everything he has been associated with in the past.

[uponit7771]

38. "Better Business Bureau gave him an F." ... whoa

[Initech]

14. So god only favors far right conservatism? WTF.

[FiveGoodMen]

34. That is most definitely what the far right thinks

(and what they're preachers tell them)

[world wide wally]

17. I was always under the impression that God didn't like liars

[Vinca]

18. I hope God also told him to black light the returned pillows before

offering them as freebies.

[smirkymonkey]

19. The gullibility of the average American never ceases to amaze me.

There will be a significant number of people who will swallow this whole. Things will never get better until we devote more resources to public education. We need to teach children how to think critically and question everything they read and hear.

[bluestarone]

20. I'm abundantly clear

Their god has HORNS!!!

[Maxheader]

21. Why do the winger handjobs keep name dropping

to the big guy? I'd be a little hesitant to stand in front of st. peter and trying to justify these things..

George Bush has claimed he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, according to a senior Palestinian politician in an interview to be broadcast by the BBC later this month.

[not_the_one]

22. Every ad has his cross hanging noticeably out of his collar

That's all it takes for the gullible cultists.

"Slick con-man" comes to mind....

[rusty fender]

24. That and only white people

are portrayed in his commercial. His sleaziness oozes lot of him, believe me!

[peekaloo]

23. What kind of toxins to his pee-lows emit?

they have hurt his brain.

[Elwood P Dowd]

25. He was fined one million dollars for false advertising. Given an F grade by Better Business Bureau.

Typical repuke who loves Spanky and his crime family.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/nation-now/2017/01/04/pillowgate-bbb-revokes-mypillow-accreditation/96145828/

BURNSVILLE, Minn. - The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has revoked the accreditation of Minnesota-based MyPillow, lowering its rating to an F based on a pattern of complaints by consumers.

<snip>

This is just the latest bump in the road for MyPillow. In November Lindell agreed to pay a penalty of $1 million after a group of California County Attorneys took legal action against the company, alleging deceptive advertising. A consumer watchdog organization said MyPillow's website made unsubstantiated claims its products can cure snoring, migraines, fibromyalgia, and other health maladies.

Lindell agreed to the settlement, but insisted he made no medical claims whatsoever, saying MyPillow simply posted customer comments on the website. He told NBC News he is settling the charges simply because it makes financial sense, and is not an admission of guilt.

[KayF]

39. and guess who runs the BBB?

[PatSeg]

26. That is so pathetic

[Docreed2003]

27. This bullshit pisses me off so much!

"God called on Donald Trump"?? Get the fuck out of here with that shit man....even Jesus is facepalming at this idiocy!

[CDerekGo]

28. Stand Back everyone, Stand Back

cuz this azzhole is about to get STRUCK BY LIGHTENING!

[Ohiogal]

30. Someone should take that pillow of his

and hold down it over his face.

[BlueJac]

31. I would use a bag of cement before...

I would give that fool a dime for his Trumpy pillow. Fuck the nut job!!!!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Ooooookay

[kskiska]

40. The cross around his neck

is a big selling point in his advertising on right-wing talk radio.
