The donut poll at Zishe’s Homemade Bakery in Monsey, New York, is favoring Donald Trump to win the first presidential debate tonight.
Zishe’s, a kosher sweet shop in the Orthodox-dominated village in Rockland County, cooked up batches of jelly donuts with Trump and Hillary Clinton’s names on them to mark the much-anticipated first presidential debate.
“I sold like ten of the Trump and maybe two of the Clinton,” said a woman who answered the phone at Zishe’s.
A picture of the debate display at Zishe’s is circulating on Orthodox WhatsApp groups.
“We just wanted to make a joke,” said the woman, who declined to give her name.
Now, however, she’s got a problem: leftovers.
“I have all the Clinton donuts,” she said.
