A singer who sported a President Trump-inspired dress to the Grammy Awards is seeing a sudden spike in sales.

Joy Villa posed in a blue gown bearing the commander in chief’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again!” — as well as his name — at the annual awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Shortly after she unveiled the pro-Trump frock, Villa’s record, “I Make the Static,” jumped to the top spot on Amazon’s list of top 100 digital paid albums. The collection of tunes also leapt to No. 7 on iTunes’ top album chart, according to Fox News.

Some reviews of the album noted the 25-year-old performer’s headline-making attire.

1. I hope it was worth it, Joy Villa

Enjoy opening for Kid Rock.

2. Well it was certainly worth it in the short term.

#1 in sales on Itunes.

Not surprising to me at all as I think you have to be an idiot to buy Icrap. Not surprising at all that Idrones would flock to trump propaganda as they are clearly very susceptible to propaganda in general.

3. Per sales: probably just a flash in the pan.

She's not white, after all.

[Egnever]

7. You are right it is already down from 7 to 11

quick bump and a return to obscurity.

4. To be fair, if she had sported a

"Love Trumps Hate " dress the same thing would have happened, but from our side.....

5. By that standard shouldn't Katy Perry be #1 then?

9. #1 what ? perry is already very successful

8. I like to pretend that people who use a particular music service are a little less evolved

I like to pretend that people who use a particular music service are a little less evolved than the common denominator as well, regardless that critical thought tells us little more than "it does not follow...

I like to rationalize bumper-stickers as critical thought too!

6. disgusting

fucking DISGUSTING and offensive to all sensibilities based in reality and concern for the whole human race...minus these boy-potus supporters...

[scscholar]

10. An ugly woman in every way...

makes money by being ugly just encourages greedy people to also become more ugly in order to take money from the public. It's a feedback loop that hurts us all.

Busta Rhymes Called Donald Trump "President Agent Orange" At The Grammys
The rapper took shots at the president during A Tribe Called Quest and Anderson .Paak’s performance...

12. So Joy is OK with Trump grabbing women by their genitals.

[tavernier]

13. You go girl...

Back to whatever dumb ass place you came from, because this country doesn't need any more air headed fox clones who believe the bullshit that comes out of trump and the KGOP.

14. A lot more fabric that her usual Grammy attire

previous outfits:

Traffic fencing



I'm not sure what this is:

?7

[JudyM]

18. Apparently her style is clothes that have to keep screaming "Look at me!"

15. Jose, what's your point?

I'm always skeptical of a pro-Trump link from a low post newbie with no star contributions.

Maybe that's just me.

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. I'm with you. n/t

[Jose Garcia]

20. I'm not sure that I would classify this news story as 'a pro-Trump link'

What is the appropriate number posts for a DU member to avoid your skepticism?

[louis c]

24. And this post by you wasn't a Pro-Rick Scott post, either

come on. To quote another Republican, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time".

Post from Jose Garcia:


Governor makes defense of economic incentives, tourism programs

Not even a week after the Florida House voted to kill both the state's job incentives program and its tourism marketing arm, Gov. Rick Scott is fighting back.

The Republican governor has stops planned in Cape Coral, Tampa and Flagler Beach today where he will meet with business leaders. In each city, he's holding a roundtable discussion about how important Enterprise Florida and Visit Florida have been to the state - a counter argument to House leaders who last week blasted both agencies as "corporate welfare" that puts the power in the hands of the government to pick winners and losers.

On Wednesday, the House Careers & Competition Subcommittee voted 10-5 to kill both agencies, despite Scott's warnings the move would hurt the economic momentum Florida has had since he was elected in 2010. Only one Republican on the panel defended Scott's position and the two programs.

The House plan face major obstacles still. Even the biggest critics of Enterprise Florida and Visit Florida in the Senate have said while both agencies need to be recast, they shouldn't be eliminated completely.
