#BagsOfSoup trends as internet ridicules peculiar Trump accusation against protesters

September 1, 2020
By Matthew Chapman

On Tuesday, Washington Post reporter Christopher Ingraham unearthed a monologue by President Donald Trump from last month, in which he warned that protesters are hurling “big bags of soup” at police, and hiding their nefarious intent when caught by claiming it’s just “soup for their family.”




Commenters on social media found this accusation so strange and random that it quickly became a source of intense ridicule, with the hashtag #BagsOfSoup trending alongside it.

Are they all just as incompetent as he is? I guess the MORONIC party (aka the republican party) is desperately hanging onto power (Senate (what little they have), and the Exec. Branch), just in case a spot opens up on the Supreme Court.

That's fine, the chances of that happening are pretty low (a supreme court spot opening up), and any nominees approved by the Senate won't be in office very long (until Biden is sworn in in Jan. 2021). By Jan. 2021, Biden will preside over the Exec. Branch, the House will be more firmly in democratic hands, and the Senate in democratic hands too (or very very close to it).

They need to issue the cops cans of Goya beans! That puts the cops on a level playing field, AND it helps the Goya guy!
