        I mean, you’re kinda splitting hairs no? He certainly promoted the Republican party, of which Trump leads.

          This is also a lie. He did not promote the Republican Party. Words mean something, quit making shit up.

            Did you read his actual comments? He literally made propagandistic claims in support of Republicans and in opposition to Democrats. Or do you agree with him that Republicans are “for the little guy”? Its complete nonsense made up to promote the Republican party.

            How is saying that republicans are the right choice for their policies and democrats are not, not promoting republicans?

              Not what he said.

              His words about the Gail Slater nomination specifically were.

              Great pick by @realDonaldTrump. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

              I disagree with Yen here, but characterizing that statement as “republicans are the right choice for their policies and democrats are not,” seems like a real stretch.

                How is that a stretch when the quote is praising Republican policies and directly comparing them to Democrat ones?
