Being covered in ladybugs after you opened a box of them to release in your garden for natural pest control probably sounded like a cute photo op on paper tbf
It’s objectively a cool thing he’s doing and natural native options are great to try to reduce chemical use.
but the absolute lack of political instinct or even basic common sense to be like “maybe we should wait 3 minutes until I’m not visually covered in bugs we just released with the stated goal of eating pests, particularly because im infamous for having a dead worm in my head” is just so funny it really overshadows any possible positives.
