President Trump joined his daughter and senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump on Thursday by posting a photo of himself hawking Goya products. Chris Cuomo wondered on CNN Thursday night how "a president in the middle of a pandemic has got time for this bulls--t."

"Are you kidding me?" Cuomo asked repeatedly. "On your dime, in the middle of a pandemic, they're selling beans?" His opening statement wrapped that protestation in with Trump's failed war on Dr. Anthony Fauci, the red state governors "who followed Trump's trail of denial to their own detriment," the White House cutting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention out of COVID-19 data collection, and Trump's demotion of campaign manager Brad Parscale.
