US politics don’t mix well with tech and GoDaddy wants to stay away from being associated with partisan activity.
The operator of the Trump Train, a pro-Donald Trump bus that is full of Trump iconography on its wrap, was told to remove the GoDaddy domain name reference that somehow made it on it.
So what happened?
Alongside Trump as Rocky Balboa is a list of “Many Thanks to” that includes “www.godaddy.com” as seen in this photo from the official Facebook page of the Trump Train:
According to the HUffPost, “GoDaddy doesn’t sponsor the bus and we don’t have any advertising relationships with the bus/owner whatsoever,” said GoDaddy spokesman Dan Race in a statement. “They don’t have permission to use our brand on the bus and we’ve asked them to remove.”
Buddy Hall, operator of the Trump Train bus, said that the wrap is from 2020 and everything on it will be changing soon, including the GoDaddy reference.
Choo-choo!
