That's about outright Trump support, which is not what the comment you replied said he did. They said Trump praising, which is actually kind of what Andy did. I do agree that he is likely just a liberal that didn't fully read the room when posting to social media, however he did praise Trump in that post for that very specific pick.

Personally, I wouldn't @ Trump and compliment him for anything, especially not if I was a leader of a large company. There is no need nor a reason to make trump's ego any bigger than it actually is, not with everything else he's actively doing to the world. For me, it's less about him "supporting Trump" and more about his inability to read the room and not see why that would be taken as supporting Trump.

He also did say that the republican party used to be better, which, while true, it's a low bar and it has been shitty republicans for a long, long time. Reagan was a republican, did the tables turn all the way back then?
