On the same day that President Donald Trump ordered a temporary halt on some green cards, his second son promoted Trump-branded “quarantine wine” on social media.


Though he initially vowed to “temporarily suspend” all immigration to the country, the president ultimately signed a more limited order. The ban did not suspend the visas for agricultural workers from which Trump Vineyards benefits.


“The team at @TrumpWinery has you covered if your quarantine wine supply is running low! Check us out,” Eric Trump wrote on Twitter. His tweet featured a bottle of Trump rosé in front of a bouquet of roses.


According to its 2017 visa application, Trump Vineyards, which the president owns, pays legal migrant laborers $0.15 per vine pruned under H2-A visas granted annually by his own administration.

Several of the president’s businesses have closed since shutdowns began in earnest last month, and his private company, the Trump Organization, even asked his own administration for a break on rent payments to its Washington hotel amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Just treat us the same,” Eric told The New York Times. “Whatever that may be is fine.”

2. Do they...

Do they list the bleach and Lysol percentages on the bottle? That's important these days.

Trump Quarantine Wine

Contains:
Grapes of Wrath
Something somebody did long ago
12% Bleach
7% Lysol(tm)

That's got to be some real horse piss.

4. That was my question, too. nt

[Haggis for Breakfast]

3. Are we supposed to inject it

or put it in an enema and shove it up our asses ?

[jmowreader]

8. You're supposed to mop the floor with it

Because you know a vineyard owned by a man who hates people who drink wine is going to produce only the finest wine.

10. I remember a sommelier from NYC wrote

that trump wine wasn't fit to serve in a McDonalds, much less a five-star restaurant - even as house wine ! And that anyone who served it should be removed from the job. He then went on to say that it might find a market on an airline.

13. You know what they say about Trump

That he's a poor man's idea of a rich man.

So it probably follows that Trump wine is a cheap-wine-drinker's idea of expensive wine.

5. Swish it across your gums to reveal the hidden flavors

17. For Eric it must reveal incredible complexity.

Lot of gums there.

6. It looks like... A) diluted Clorox container parading around and being shaped like wine bottle

and sold as as wine ..............or
B) a new UV light with a long neck handle with the trumpster name on it parading around as a bottle.............being

peddle by a son who father is a CON.................I wonder if they will donate the proceeds to help out buying masks and test kits...............I am not going to hold my breath .......................

[Yeehah]

7. Bwaahahaha!! Trump winery!

Makes Boone's Farm look like Domaine Leroy.

[jmowreader]

9. Now that you mention it, Trump bottles and Boone's Farm bottles do look an awful lot alike.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

11. Is that stuff still around ?

[jmowreader]

14. A gas station I go to sells it

They also sell cow manure, chicken feed (both pre- and post-chicken) and pitchforks.

Yes, it is a farm supply store with a fuel island. They also sell beer and wine.

12. Cashing in on a pandemic that is killing tens of thousands. Utterly disgusting.

[crickets]

18. +1

[SergeStorms]

22. Pandemic profiteering.

There should be a law passed to stop this kind of shit. New York State just busted some asshole who was hoarding hand sanitizer, N95 masks, hospital gowns etc. I wish there was some way to arrest these bastards about this. There is no bottom to the pit of the Trump family's greed.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. I'd rather drink cheap box wine than that swill.

[47of74]

16. I'd rather drink detergant than that bottled piss

[Capt. America]

19. Hucksters. The whole family.

20. No doubt Judge Jeanine will be first in line to buy it.

Not a pic of Jeanine.

21. There really is no end...

to the amount of graft and thievery these pieces of crap are capable of. I hate every quark in their fucking bodies.

23. "Trump Vineyards is eligible ... "

Trump Vineyards is eligible to access a $9.5 billion agricultural federal relief fund during the pandemic, which has a carveout for grapes,
though the company told the Associated Press that it did not plan to apply.
