MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is facing a wave of online teasing and some backing after sharing a picture of himself grinning beside former President Donald Trump, the leading 2024 Republican nominee. Lindell, known for supporting Trump’s unproven election fraud claims, is currently in legal disputes with Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic, as reported by Newsweek on November 15, 2023.
The snapshot, shared on X (formerly Twitter), showed Lindell and Trump smiling, with Lindell’s caption reading, Great catching up with our real President!
The post received a strong reaction, garnering over 370,000 views, 14,000 likes, 2,100 shares, and 2,200 replies on X. Responses varied from funny edits to critical comments reflecting the divisive nature of Lindell’s alliance with Trump.
A New Jersey X user humorously remarked, Like climbing on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. An edited image surfaced with Lindell holding a pillow, replaced by Trump’s buttocks, humorously captioned, Reunited and it feels so good.
A Florida X user expressed concern for Lindell’s reputation, saying, You risked your entire reputation and business on the lies of a conman, while others questioned the state of his pillow business.
Yet, there were supportive voices, with one user grateful for Lindell’s commitment to what they believed was right. Another optimistic comment declared, Mike Lindell will be vindicated!!!
In a recent Newsweek interview, Lindell admitted financial difficulties in paying his legal team amid legal challenges from Dominion Voting Systems, Smartmatic, and former Dominion employee Eric Coomer.
Lindell, facing defamation claims for alleging election rigging, emphasized the financial strain on his legal defense. These lawyers were courageous… they need to get paid, and if there’s no money to pay them, they can’t keep going, Lindell stated.
Earlier this year, Lindell claimed substantial financial losses due to a massive cancellation following his election fraud allegations. In a Star Tribune interview, he asserted a $100 million loss from cancel culture propagated by various outlets.
On November 30, Lindell sought donations during an appearance on Lindell-TV, admitting personal funds had been depleted. He stressed the importance of financial support to get our elections secure and pledged to continue soliciting funds for the cause.
The unfolding story around Lindell’s legal battles, financial struggles, and continued alignment with Trump highlights the complex dynamics at play.
