This is what he & chumputin are now pushing.

Just a guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if russian "vaccine" is made out of oleander.

Even the pollen is highly toxic!

It's a beautiful flowering POISONOUS plant! It can be deadly if ingested. Even the smoke from a burning oleander plant is poisonous.
This administration is going to kill even more people.

I'd had a couple of threads going on this topic recently & quite a few people responded with stories about the toxic nature of this plant.

I doubt it. He's just another con man. It's no surprised that Trump latched onto him. Bird of a feather...

He's making and selling conventional 100% cotton, 210 thread count double layered masks.

My independently owned Podunk town bakery is selling the same mask cheaper.

He has recreated himself several times in the last twenty years. But,if you prostitute yourself to the GOP cause,well,what you are seeing is what a real Con looks and Sounds like. He might be able to give the Orange A-Hole a run for his money as well,though I doubt that,it would be a close race.

My Pillow agrees to $1 million in penalties to settle suit over marketing claims

Pumped up sales pitches from founder Mike Lindell have helped rack up hundreds of millions in MyPillow sales. But, Consumer advocates at truthinadvertising.org launched an investigation over some of the claims. So did consumer protection officials in California. The allegations include misleading marketing and inappropriate health claims with no reliable scientific evidence.

Investigators say the company also touted MyPillow as the "Official Pillow of the National Sleep Foundation", but failed to disclose its financial connection with the group, as required by law. That claim is still on the company's website but under the settlement must come down by the end of January.

In agreeing to the settlement, MyPillow admits no wrongdoing. The penalties include $100,000 in charitable contributions.

My Pillow still faces two class action lawsuits over it's marketing.

What's for sale next? A quart jar of gasoline (with his face on the label) and some matches?

Narrator: "The curing power of FIRE can be yours!"

Lindell: "That's right, folks! Let fire work for you! Pour this magic elixir over your head and just light one of the matches! It's that easy! And if you call now, you'll receive two books of matches to ensure your successful Covid treatment!"
