MyPillow's Mike Lindell is Trump's choice vs. Walz in 2022

Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Mike Lindell has made little secret of his ambition to run for governor of Minnesota in two years, and he seems to have already locked down his most important supporter.

“He may be the next governor,” President Donald Trump said of the MyPillow CEO at his recent rally in Bemidji.

“You should run,” Trump continued. “You should run. He has my complete and total endorsement. You should run. You’d be a hell of a governor. At least you know one thing, Minnesota would be well promoted. Mike, run for governor, please.”

Lindell, who founded Chanhassen-based MyPillow in 2009, was an early supporter of Trump’s presidential bid and has been campaigning for the president’s re-election this year.

a few years ago.
the 1st night there I was so tired after the drive, I slept like a rock. 2nd night there, eh. woke up with a slightly sore neck. My last night... was horrendous I could not get the pillow to firm up and support my neck. The stuffing would gravitate to each side each side of my head and none underneath it. Same if I laid on my side, only now I had the pillow blocking my breathing.

There is also something in that pillow that kicked in my allergies, even though I was on allergy meds.

Stuffing On my clothes despite cleaning the lint filter. The dryer then died and I had to replace it.

I threw out the other pillow.

I looked at the online reviews first.

Multiple reviews stated that the pillows had a really strong chemical smell that never went away. The smell caused headaches and nausea to some who bought them.

And the buyers had a hell of a time trying to get their money back. Some never did.

I am very sensitive to smells. I get migraines all the time. Needless to say, I didn't buy.

He should focus on his sobriety and his pillows that yellow.
