Just in time for Veteran’s Day!
Trump Wine Hits Government Shelves
By Zach Everson, Forbes Staff
The Trump Organization’s second-term push to monetize Donald Trump’s presidency has reached the aisles of military exchanges, as Coast Guard-run stores, which provide service members and their families with access to tax-free consumer goods, have stocked Trump-branded wine and cider.
Key Facts
Coast Guard Exchanges at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in Centreville, Virginia, recently stocked Trump-branded wine and cider, according to a photo posted on Instagram and confirmed by Forbes from calls to the stores.Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin confirmed the exchanges were carrying Trump wines in a statement to Forbes, saying, “The brave men and women of the USCG are pleased to be able to buy Trump wine and cider tax free.”
While there’s been no shortage of Trump’s businesses capitalizing on the presidency—from using the presidential seal on golf markers at his courses to selling a $75 coffee table book showcasing pictures by his official White House photographer—these wines are among the few times Trump products have been sold at a government facility.
The White House referred inquiries to the Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard deferred to DHS and the Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment.
A few facts the scribe managed to omit in his snarky little diatribe- The Trump Organization has been around since 1907, and Trump took the helm in 1971. Nothing new here. It’s been run by sons Don Jr and Eric since 2017 and Surprise! they’re using the Trump name. It’s called “Marketing,” Zach. Successful businesses understand and use this. Thanks to a Usual Suspect for the link.

Instead of all the news fit to print, we get all the spin to fit the dem narrative.
Yellow journalism is alive and well under the control of the left.
I thought it was “All the news that fits, we print.”
Is this spin? It is literally what he is doing.
Trump is absolutely massively profiting off the presidency. To the tune of billions at this point.
That should be on every news channel 24/7.
It is a major scandal and has been for a long time.
The fact that only some agencies are covering it sometimes is a problem.
All of his products are scams. From blasphemous bibles, to fake Swiss watches, to crypto scams and rug pulls, NFT scams, selling pardons, lavish gifts, billions of dollars deals for his family, selling executive orders….
Seems like you would want this shit exposed if you cared about this country more than obedience to your cult.
I like having a smart business man as President.
Especially one that knows what it’s like to be shot at.
Selling a product, any product, represented accurately as what it is, no deception, is definitely not a scam. Do I agree with his sales? Usually not. I think it’s pretty silly. But it is definitely not a scam. Now, let’s apply that standard to… you. You present yourself as an educated, respectable former commissioned officer, knowledgeable in politics and the ways of the world. Anyone who’s ever interacted with you knows that isn’t 100% accurate. What does that create? A scam. Fraud.
Now go have a great day!
I guess the $35 million Obama took for a couple voice over documentaries, was not a payoff. How about the one where Obama pushed global warming/ climate change for years (and still is) then he goes and buys a multi million dollar home just above sea level. You are a fraud.
Obama did that? Really? I’m shocked! Shocked I say! 👀
“Seems like you would want this shit exposed if you cared about this country more than obedience to your cult.”
*YAWN*, thanks for another peek into the hive mind of the left, Major Moonbat, you give us a view of the hate propaganda fed to you and your fellow hate-minions. Let’s not forget that it was useful idiots on YOUR side of the political fence that tried twice to assassinate President trump as well as the trannies who carried out mass shootings, many of which left crazy left-wing manifestos behind.
They probably look into the barrel whilst cleaning their guuunz!
How about instead of a rant, Some specific facts and verifiable dollar amounts. We’ll see if they add up to one billion much less the two plus you are claiming.
But,but, but … maff is hard.
And it’s waycist because uhhmmm, … it hurts peoples’ feewings!
I’m waiting for Barron to get a do nothing job in Ukraine that he’s completely unqualified for.
Commissar for pressident!
Many Trump items are sold by AAFES.

Do you suppose they will bring back the whiskey ration?
That’s be nice.
Let them whine.
Let them whine which will be fine and then they can whine all the time. Boy oh boy Beans, I really got a whind up over that one….
Jeff: you’re a poet! You know it?
Let them wine.
Jealous much, Mr Everson?
Is it going to be at the exchange in SOUTHCOM?
What’s the price?
“What’s the price?”
Two bits twice.
What’s the reason?
Grapes outta season.
Hat tip to Thunderbird….
You can find it right between the Mad Dog 20/20 and the
Boones Farm.
In my mind, I just re-tasted the Orange MD20/20 after I threw it up. It tastes awful going down and even worse coming back up!
Sure cured that dawg from sucking eggs, didn’t you!
Speaking of President Trump..
This is SO SAD…
As much as Commissar loathes President Trump, we doubt he would stoop this low to dishonor those who took the oath to serve our Country.
“Commanders Fans Face Backlash For Booing Trump During US Military Ceremony”
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/commanders-fans-face-backlash-booing-trump-during-us-military-ceremony
“Washington Commanders fans faced backlash on Sunday as they booed President Donald Trump as he read the names of those enlisting in the U.S. military.”
“The new members of the military were at Northwest Stadium as part of the NFL’s “Salute to Service” festivities ahead of Veterans Day. Trump was seen at the stadium reading off names on the public address system of the stadium.”
It takes a special kind of asshole to boo an enlistment ceremony. And I have no doubt that Commissar can an will find a way to complain, if not question the legitimacy outright. He’s special like that.
Two words: VIVA CAPITALISM!!!!
Oh, and where can I score a bottle or two of that? My parents have been brainwashed into the “Hate Trump” cult by the mainstream media outlets they watch, I’d love to bring a bottle to a family dinner (I have a rabid lefty sister as well), and the aftermath will gracefully save me money come time for Christmas shopping!
You know that we’re going to need a full report if you do that.
That would be more interesting than any sports event on TV, and would most likely override the tryptophan nap. Send audio clips please.
I have a sister-in-law and brother that are mildly infected with TDS. So, I try to avoid mentioning Trump.
Method to your madness! I may duplicate.
I’ll drink to that!
This retard used to write for Travel and Leisure, so that makes him immensely qualified to spew irrelevant nonsense.
If anyone wants to get him a Christmas present, a brain would be something he could use…
