From the Semaphore article: One of the companies, Instant Pot Brands, noted that “a portion of the profits from” its forthcoming collection “will be donated to the Trump Presidential Library.” Instant Pot, which makes kitchen and home appliances, said in its release that it will offer a “45/47 Collaboration,” including various items branded with those numbers and Trump’s “Make America Great Again” tagline.

People deserve what they get if they buy something that was made by Donald Trump
Ha! Jokes on them, they made their shit so good it’s never gonna break so I won’t ever have to give them a cent. Fuck you instantpot.
That’s what I hear but mine has failed to seal and messed up my Spanish rice twice. Fool me once, shame on me? Maybe there was some hidden gunk blocking the mechanism. Nope. After a thorough clean and successful seal test the same thing happened. Fool me twice, and you don’t get a third chance to ruin an hour of prep and all those ingredients. I’m definitely not replacing it now, though. That’s for sure.
You know the main seals are replaceable, right? They’re a wear item. I think we’ve replaced ours 2x in 10 years of frequent use.
Like I said, it seals just fine. It just fails to sometimes.
It just fails to sometimes
Apparently it doesn’t seal just fine.
Surely you know my issue better than I do 🙄
Prolly. I mean, I’m just saying your sentence doesn’t make sense. You’re saying it doesn’t seal, but then you say it seals fine, but then you say it doesn’t. Sounds like a seal issue to me, but what do I know?
From a single sentence, not much. Yes, the seals are fine, they haven’t been used enough for them to wear out and again the device has a seal test function it passes fine and nine times out of ten there’s no issue. I appreciate you informing me about what you assume the issue is, and that your initial comment was probably meant to be helpful, but beyond that I really don’t feel the need to carry on trying to convince a rando on the internet that there is a difference between intermittent failure and hardware defect. If I told you “My HDMI cable works fine, except sometimes the screen flickers black for a second.” It seems from this conversation like you’d respond “Well then your cable clearly isn’t fine.” But you’d be wrong, the cable may well be fine. The issue could be signal interference, the port, power draw, or a loose fit, or a whole list of things. The information given doesn’t prove the cable is bad, just that something in the system isn’t consistent. You don’t have enough information to make that call.
Didn’t they go bankrupt a few years ago?
Anyways, what a stupid and corrupt idea.
Why does this fuck want to be involved in cell phones and kitchen appliances?
Licensing his stupid name has been his business for years. He hasn’t “developed” anything in decades.
Sell a shitty $170 phone for $500 to a bunch of idiots? Easy money. Similar to his Trump Steaks scam. Sell dollar store Steak’Ums at Spencers Gifts, and command a premium price for just long enough for a few people to buy, and then bankrupt the “business”. Similar to [any other trump “brand” scam].
Listen, if he actually makes them I’d be half tempted to buy a few so that he’ll spend more time working a real job and regain some sense of reality.
Haha j/k, Trump hasn’t done an honest day’s work in his life.
God DAMNIT I was just looking to get one of these. I need a multicooker.
There’s plenty of alternate brand pressure cookers.
Mine is made by Aroma. Works great almost daily, bought it a few years ago now. I can even make risotto with it. (Sautee function)
Get a pressure cooker instead. Donald isn’t going to make a pressure cooker.
