90. Hasbro Gift of Play™ program & Trump's free toys

Tue Sep 13, 2016, 01:13 PM

Sep 2016

Republican conservatives are just too easy for Trump to scam. This is the Hasbro "Gift of Play™" program. I believe that's probably where Trump got the free toys that were donated, from their manufacturing facility in Batten Rouge after the truck drove a few blocks from the factory to Trump's photo-op location so it looked like Trump's people drove down with the truck from NY. If Trump wasn't looking for some PR Hasbro woulda just given them (and any relief supplies) out at the factory. Some say this factory is only a shipping depot for toys manufactured by Hasbro in China. If so, Trump gave out Chinese Hasbro toys, but that wouldn't be a surprise given his penchant for using imported materials and screwing the American worker! Hasbro donates $9 million/yr to needy children via this program. http://corporate.hasbro.com/en-us/community-relations/gift-of-play
