MyPillow CEO to attend White House opioid discussion

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 10/23/18 01:57 PM EDT

The CEO of MyPillow, an outspoken supporter of President Trump and recovering drug addict, is scheduled to attend a White House event focused on the opioid crisis, The Daily Beast reported.

Mike Lindell, who founded the pillow manufacturing company, told the news outlet that White House counselor Kellyanne Conway invited him to Wednesday's event. The president is also expected to take part in the discussion, The Daily Beast reported.

Lindell told The Daily Beast that he first met Trump in August 2015 and shared with the then-candidate that he was a recovering crack cocaine addict.

Conway said that the president is expected to sign a bipartisan bill on Wednesday aimed at fighting the opioid addiction crisis.

What's more bipartisan or more effective than Jeff Sessions' confiscation scheme?

Iâ€™d suppose being coked up and awake for 19 consecutive days would inspire you to invent something to get a good nightâ€™s sleep.

War on Drugs, the Sequel. Another gubmint program that will spend gobs of taxpayer dollars, but yield no worthwhile results.

Only this time, people who have a legitimate need for opioids will have a helluva time getting them. They will be punished because some losers just want to "feel good" for cheap.

I know someone who sent their pillow back but no big deal. We all have different tastes. Now, I think I saw them for sale at Walgreen's.

Iâ€™ve tried them all and havenâ€™t found anything that beats a high quality authentic down pillow.

I wondered where he found his inspiration.

I always wanted to know if they are good pillows

They are. Best money Iâ€™ve spent on pillows. My neck and shoulders no longer ache.

I think they're really good. Got some as a gift, and they simply hold up longer supporting your neck than do either too-cushy down pillows, which tend to compress a lot over the course of a night, or harder foam that doesn't give enough. There are always some people who will prefer what they're used to, but the vast majority of people I know who got one of those MyPillows really likes them.

Totally agree. My Pillow has been a God-send for me.

I slept on a down pillow once. Woke up with both eyes swollen nearly shut.
They're not so great for people with allergies.

That is true. Even if you do not have allergies, getting a crappy one with a lot of feather dust will be a problem. Years ago, I bought one and kept waking up with a sore throat. When you fluffed the pillow, you could see the particles coming through the case. I got a better quality pillow and a protective case. No problems after that.

It's a bit of an expense but very tempting, in light of all my aches and pains. I haven't pulled the trigger on My Pillow yet, though.

He's been on fox already as a guest, not talking about commercials, sort of a precursor to going to the WH.

They arenâ€™t cheap, but they are easy to care for and last a long time. I highly recommend My Pillow.

I love em but my experience is you should order below your size. They are too thick at the recommended chart level for you. A pillow will induce cervical flexion if itâ€™s too high.
