Trump Wine Hits Government Shelves<\/h3>\n

By Zach Everson, Forbes Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Trump Organization\u2019s second-term push to monetize Donald Trump\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Key Facts
\nCoast 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.<\/p>\n

Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin confirmed the exchanges were carrying Trump wines in a statement to Forbes, saying, \u201cThe brave men and women of the USCG are pleased to be able to buy Trump wine and cider tax free.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s been no shortage of Trump\u2019s businesses capitalizing on the presidency\u2014from 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\u2014these wines are among the few times Trump products have been sold at a government facility.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.\u00a0 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.
