Even Trump Winery is Disavowing Donnie

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/346683-charlottesville-winery-trump-boasted-about-owning-claims-no-affiliation

A Charlottesville, Va., winery that President Trump boasted about owning Tuesday says they have no affiliation with him.

(SNIP)

As he was leaving the press conference, Trump claimed to be knowledgeable about [Charlottesville] and added that he owned “one of the biggest” wineries in the country there.

But the Trump Winery has a disclaimer on its website that says it is owned by Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing LLC, Mother Jones reported.

"Trump Winery is a registered trade name of Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing LLC, which is not owned, managed or affiliated with Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their affiliates,” the disclaimer reads.

The Trump Organization, so he cannot deny it and have it both ways when he's embarrassed to be affiliated with his father, while at other times claiming it when he's proud to be affiliated with his crazy ass dad.

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) carefully, as it constitutes legally binding terms and conditions between you and The Trump Organization and its affiliates (“Trump” “we” “us” or “our”) and applies to your access and use of the Services (as hereafter defined) through (A) the website located at www.trump.com and all corresponding web pages and websites owned or operated by Trump, including trumphotels.com, trumpgolf.com and trumpinternationalrealty.com (collectively, “Sites”), (B) our mobile, web, tablet, desktop and other applications, including applications made available through Facebook, iOS and Android (the “Trump App(s)”), and (C) any other content, applications, features, functionality, information and services offered by us, whether through the Trump Apps, the Sites or otherwise (each of the above individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Services”). These Terms of Service apply whether you are accessing the Services via a wireless or mobile device, a tablet a personal computer or any other technology or device (each, a “Device”).


FWIW, I don't see a disclaimer on the site, anyway.

ETA: now I found it. The disclaimer is inconsistent with their TOS, and inconsistent with the information at the above links. From Trump.com: http://www.trump.com/ - Center top "Trump Organization" Bottom right: "Trump Winery"

Is he actually saying he has more of a stake because of his ownership there? That's EXACTLY why we have them divest and dump things into a blind trust.

...not that I'm surprised.

I don't believe how much this guy lies. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He could have just said "My son owns one of the biggest wineries in the country there". But no, he had to lie and make it all about himself again - he had to let people know that it is "one of the BIGGEST" and that HE owned it. What a loser!
