Deplorable Wine Is Now A Thing

After an attempt to boycott Trump wine backfired, Trump supporters took things one step further. Introducing Deplorable Wine, available at an online retailer near you.

The wine was first mentioned on Fox&Friends, and then picked up by the Daily Caller. It’s called “Les Déplorables,” and takes its name from a repurposed insult Hillary Clinton used to describe some of Trump’s fans. Clinton called them a “basket of deplorables” in a campaign speech, and Trump’s supporters have taken to referring to themselves in similar fashion.

The American-made (obviously…) wine is produced in both red and white, either Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay based, and retails for $15 a bottle.

They are going full Al Bundy with this one. I doubt they'll get tired of telling us about their 4 TD game. Well, that is until they develop GBFS (George Bush Forgetful Syndrome). That's the one where they conveniently forget who they voted for, what that person did, and how vindictively shitty they acted when you questioned what that dude did.

2. I don't think "Les Deplorables" is the correct appellation for this vintage

"Les Essence Sans Plomb" is probably more like it.

I picture PBR, maybe, if they are feeling frisky, some Yukon Gold mixed with Kroger Cola.

He said that the Trump fans will most likely stick to drinking the white wine.

Those people have not taste in anything else. Like Trump wine, it probably tastes like shit.
