TRUMP wine on sale at National Parks:"Even as we sit down for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, Trump wine is everywhere how?" Snape said in an interview today.
Hoping to find answers, Snape filed a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, asking the National Park Service to provide records regarding the sale of wine and other alcoholic beverages at Shenandoah and other national parks.
The request also asks NPS to produce any records or documents that mention Trump, his family members or Trump merchandise.
Snape said the discovery of the wine at Shenandoah was first made by one of the center's members, who took photos of the bottles but wants to remain anonymous.
"She just stumbled across it and obviously got a little fired up and upset. I checked it out and confirmed it," Snape said.
Snape added that the issue raises more questions on the extent to which Trump's role as commander in chief collides with his role "as chief of the Trump empire ... with no understanding of where it begins and where it ends."

Apparently the Emoluments clause, unlike the 2nd Amend., is outdated and ignorable.

To make the entire Impotus family drink their own wine (swill). Based on the quality of their other products and how cheaply they make them, it would likely kill anyone who drinks more than a couple glasses.
