On Wednesday, First Daughter Ivanka Trump was flagged by government ethics experts who said that she clearly violated federal law by endorsing Goya in a Tuesday-night tweet.
Not even a day later, Donald Trump decided to ignore government ethics rules and endorsed the company from the White House. His endorsement came days after the CEO of Goya praised the president, saying the country is “truly blessed” to have him as the leader.
Trump posted the photo below just moments ago.
This sparked outrage among voters. Take a look at some of their responses:
He's busy selling Goya.
Priorities, you know.

It's appalling that the current president of the USA is actively promoting the products of a for-profit company & doing so from the White House – literally! And as is always the case, there are no consequences for this grossly unethical conduct.https://t.co/z1Kc7seX6K pic.twitter.com/Aa33AqOQWV

As if she's ever seen a can of black beans before. trump himself did a photo "ad" for Goya also. None of them have the slightest concept of what "illegal" means.#PhonyJoni

Exactly. All talk but no action. Trump is also endorsing Goya with their products spread all over the Oval Office desk. This is illegal. Action needs to be taken NOW!

@realDonaldTrump @TheJusticeDept It’s illegal for you and daddy to do this while in office. You want to do this then quit your job and go work for Goya. I have never seen such a corrupt administration and family. pic.twitter.com/qyfYnBUueC
