We've lost Jeopardy! to Trump

Been noticing a pattern lately of seemingly pro Trump "answers" showing up on the Jeopardy board. It's been consistent maybe every other day with some sort of aspect of the Trump administration. The kicker was recently when the category was "Italian-Americans" and a photo portrait of Pam Bondi appeared on the screen with an answer of "This Italian American serves as Trumps Attorney General" that wasn't the exact wording but it was similar. Jeopardy routinely has clues with references to Disney, the parent company of ABC which air Jeopardy! but this is a new low to appease the Orange Pustule. It's all so Orwellian because I don't think that host Ken Jennings is a fan of Trump or his messed up administration. Anybody else noticing pro-Trump propaganda on Jeopardy!?

They are making a Rush Hour 4 because Trump wanted one.

This is the easiest way to get on Trump’s good side. Otherwise you have to make tougher decisions.

not under scrutiny, just throwing it out there to normalize Trump. Im assuming they are doing it so that the Orange pustule might hear about it and favor ABC in the future.

Like it or not, Trump and his admin are part of current events and history. Jeopardy wouldn’t just ignore that. And, well, viewers who lean right do watch the show, so producers will always want the widest possible audience. When a Trump-ish question has been asked, it’s always been factual and not tinged political. Science and fact still rule though!

Yes, lots and lots of diversity from contestants!
