http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/346683-charlottesville-winery-trump-boasted-about-owning-claims-no-affiliationA Charlottesville, Va., winery that President Trump boasted about owning Tuesday says they have no affiliation with him.

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.

(3,335 posts)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.

(34,074 posts)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"

(3,032 posts)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.

(63,221 posts)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!
