    I gotta be honest, nobody whines like Trump. Little bitch complains about everything. 🤷

    You know that shit’s just a blend.

    Bordeaux and Champaign are often blends.

    I guess there's both "blend" in the traditional sense of mixing varietals from grapes you grew or sources you trust to create more balanced or complex wine, and "blend" in the sense of chucking in whatever grapes you were able to source cheap, from any climate and terroir and growing technique.

    Is this like Trump Steaks? Or Trump Airlines? Or Trump University? Or a few Casinos? Same business plan and none of them really succeeded.

    1. Take the money
    2. Run
    3. ???
    4. Profit!

    Who would buy alcohol branded after someone who doesn't drink?

    I mean... The way it's going, they'll be able to sell it as the same without telling you. Like a server at olive garden "excuse me sir, would you like some cheese-like foodstuff made from tree pulp?"

    Not for nothing, but olive garden does use actual parm reg cheese. And it's only the pre shredded bag cheese at stores that use cellulose to keep the shreds separated.

    But yeah, I wouldn't trust anything with his name on it especially if meant to be injested.

    Teaparty that shit in a field somewhere. Prevent it from ever being bought or sold.

    I will gladly drink anything branded "Military Special" over that shit. IYKYK.

    Also, I swear I'll give it the bird when I pass by in the Class Six.

    I’m surprised that he didn’t insist on having his detailed image, a silhouette of his profile, or at least his signature on the label.

    That's like the old days when big factories had stores for their workers to shop in.
