...................................



As he was leaving the press conference, Trump claimed to be knowledgeable about the town 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.

That takes you to Trumphotels[.]com, a Trump Org company - so Trump Org is STILL affiliated with the Winery, despite Winery's disclaimer

Guess how Trump Vineyard makes its money? Rent. And guess who Trump is charging rent? His *SON* - the winery is on the vineyard

"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”

Wouldn't Eric have some affiliation with his father, there's just no legal ownership by Drumpf on paper. Where did the money come from?

If Donald claims to own it, but it is in Eric's name, I would suspect some kind of fraud is going on.

Eric's not exactly the brightest bulb in that pack of 25Watters. I'm going to take a SWAG and say that there's probably a private deal where Daddy Dearest, control freak that he is, still pulls the strings.
