Michael Knowles, Don Jr. Discuss ‘A Positive Vision’ For America

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s “Triggered with Don Jr.” podcast on Monday, where the two discussed the success of Knowles’ Mayflower Cigars and how a positive vision for the future fueled the MAGA movement. 

Both Mayflower and MAGA are celebrating massive wins. Obviously, the election of Donald J. Trump is the biggest win — for the future of America and the present economy — and Knowles discussed how a decisive Trump campaign strategy was similar to a strategy he uses for Mayflower. 

With Mayflower, “it’s not as though we’re saying ‘don’t give your money to woke cigar companies.’ You know, there aren’t woke cigar companies,” Knowles said. “It’s saying something different. We know this is a good product, a really high-quality product. It’s made with care, it’s artistic, there’s a story here with Mayflower.” 

“So, it’s not just that we’re offering the opportunity to harm another company,” Knowles added. “We’re offering you a positive vision. And I think this is something that MAGA has really done both culturally and in government.”

The Daily Wire host said the MAGA movement has offered more than a roadblock to “woke Democrats.” 

“We’re not merely against something. We’re for something,” Knowles added. “We’re for safe communities. We’re for healthy food. We’re for a strong America.”  

“That’s a big deal,” Trump Jr. responded.

Trump Jr. told Knowles that he’s been hoping to smoke a Mayflower stogie with him and floated the idea of getting together during his father’s inauguration on January 20, 2024. 

“I see you got the cigars there — We still have not had time to actually sit down and have one. We’re going to have to change that,” Trump Jr. said. “I sort of assumed my schedule was going to open up on November 6. It turns out it’s pretty busy until January 20th, so maybe in D.C. around the inauguration.” 

“That’s a good idea,” Knowles replied. “You’ve had one or two things on your mind, I would say, over the past few weeks, so your cigars are waiting here. They are ready for you. I like the idea. The inauguration is a good time to celebrate.”
