His speeches get dissected for posterity, his offhand comments are ripped apart, and in general Trump makes for millions of social media discussions (and memes) &#8211; for or against him. Love him or hate him, you can&#8217;t ignore him seems to be the general consensus.

The company sent a total of 6000 tea bags or &#8220;two years worth of goodness&#8221; purported to cleanse Donald Trump (since Mr Trump has the the world &#8216;worried&#8217;) to the Trump Towers in New York.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19732 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tea-for-trump.jpeg?resize=640%2C316\" alt=\"Indian tea company teame sends 6000 teabags tea for trump\" width=\"640\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tea-for-trump.jpeg?resize=1024%2C506&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tea-for-trump.jpeg?resize=300%2C148&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tea-for-trump.jpeg?resize=768%2C380&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tea-for-trump.jpeg?resize=500%2C247&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tea-for-trump.jpeg?resize=600%2C297&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tea-for-trump.jpeg?w=1381&amp;ssl=1 1381w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tea-for-trump.jpeg?w=1280 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">And this wasn&#8217;t done behind closed doors. The gesture was orchestrated with an elaborate stunt, complete with a truck emblazoned with a &#8220;Special Delivery For Trump&#8221; and 2 Sari clad reps from the company pushing a cart full of the tea bags across the iconic city. The entire process was captured in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">a video, complete with some neat editing involving relaying the Tea For Trump message on the Times Square billboards and recording reactions from the public cheering &#8216;Tea for Trump!&#8217; who also happen to be sipping the tea from the company branded mugs. The video has amassed over 2 million views already, and the story has been splashed all over media, making for the kind of a viral campaign Te-A-Me otherwise might have spent as many rupees on, to achieve a far less interesting effect. \u00a0The company has even rolled out a microsite called TeaForTrump to capture the viral campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><iframe style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fteameteas%2Fvideos%2F993333634048494%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">\u201cDear Mr Trump, namaste from India, we are sending you lots and lots of natural green tea.
