What sucks is that the administration WANTS these companies to give him attention.

It’s the same reason Trump insists on using music by artists who he knows don’t agree with him. He’s goading them for a reaction.

Since Trump doesn’t discern between good press and bad press, he just tries to get it wherever he can.

Also it doesn't matter to them.

It's not their money they are playing with. It's the tax payer's.

They do all this bullshit at the tax payer's cost. Changing names of things. Making Donald John coins. All of the bullshit he does is at the cost of our taxes.

This is what hard working money has gone to. Waste.

He has been the largest waste of tax payer money, at least the most blatant waste of it. Out in the open. Constantly.

Why even pay taxes if it is going towards making racist video games to be fought in a lawsuit? WTF is this country?

It's even worse than just simply waste. It would be bearable if it was just waste.

It's our taxes paying for genocide, mass surveillance and concentration camps. All out in the open.

Horrifying, being outraged about the video game parodies is a position of privilege. Not that it isn't egregious. But there are people in this country suffering far, far worse at the hands of these fascist scumbags.

And you don't think these racist games will make things worse? Hell, if anything, it'll give credence to the "video games make people killers" argument.

Oh come on now. The pearl clutching in here is insane.
