The fact that the replies are split between people saying he's awesome for trolling Trump, and demonizing him for authenticly following Trump's lead suggests that HuffPost could have put a bit more effort into the article.
I wish you (press) wouldn’t lead with a brand some dirtbag has not been associated with in over a DECADE (Pirate’s Booty was sold in 2013, yet that’s your image).
My read is that it's both. We're all reacting to the fascist takeover our own way and this guy decided on public performance art. It's definitely mocking sarcasm, but that doesn't mean he's not serious. He's trying to rally people against fake claims to power by forcing them to confront it.
“When someone takes Austria or Ukraine, they don’t go and ask for permission, they just do it,” he told the paper. “I’m asserting my rights to have a free, open life, and have transparency.”
I believe he is referencing Hitler taking Austria as a good thing… all the Nazis coming out to say hello
I understand you’re a simpleton, but most Americans don’t actually own or like guns. It’s pretty well-known that the vast majority of gun owners in the states hoard the things, and in vast quantities.
I'm not talking about just owning guns, i'm talking about the rationale for the Second Amendment, which was not about just having weapons, but rather being able to defend oneself and one's community from any threats.
But i guess it's easier to call me a simpleton than to use your brain.
There's no way this wasn't entirely done to mock Trump. Every single thing he did here was an absurd copy of what Trump did after the 2020 election.
Also the part where he said it was like invading a country and compared it to Ukraine and Austria can't possibly be serious. It's too ridiculous
When I think magnate, I think Carnegie, Rockefeller, literally J.P. Morgan. Not some bozo with a snack food empire. But I'll concede dude is doing well for himself.
This company is shite. We stopped buying Pirates Booty over 20 years ago when we learned they were lying about their calories. We were in Weight Watchers then.
I kind of want it to be a bit. Maybe he’s trying to get invited to Mar-a-Largo where he’ll secretly record the classified documents that are back in the shitter.

Mocking sarcasm is hilarious.
If he's serious, this is a problem.
BOYCOTT THEIR PRODUCTS

You lot are bat-s*** crazy.
Is this America now? Just minute by minute reports of lunacy, head-shaking - and doing f***-all about it?

Our White House interloper BOUGHT his way in. That’s how it’s done silly guy. Money is king (god) in the USA.
I hate the idea of putting a single penny in this asshole's pocket.

And if you think you can guess the ending, you're wrong.
