Donald Trumps meat was the topic of social media chatter on Tuesday after his overwhelming victory in the Michigan and Mississippi primaries.
During a press conference held at his Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Fla., the GOP front-runner spent time touting what he said were his his name-brand line of Trump Steaks. The billionaire started the gourmet steak line in 2007 and sold it through Sharper Image.
But as some observers pointed out on Twitter, the filets Trump was serving up at the event came wrapped in packaging from a company not affiliated with the his business empire.
Trump steaks. Where are the steaks? Do we have steak? We have Trump Steaks, Trump said during a 30-minute victory speech given to a crowd made up largely of members of his golf club and the press.

Close-up photos of the steaks, however, show that they were wrapped in plastic bearing a non-Trump logo. The meat appeared to come from a West Palm Beach meat company called, ironically, Bush Brothers Provisional Company.
Sharper Image still features Trump Steaks on its online catalogue but notes that the meat line has been discontinued.
Like Mr. Trump himself, Trump Steaks were in a league of their own USDA Prime Certified Angus Beef, flash frozen and shipped in a deluxe presentation box,' the Sharper Image entry reads, noting that Unfortunately, Trump Steaks are no longer available, but their legacy endures.
The Trump campaign did not return a request for comment about the meat mix-up. An Associated Press reporter on the ground in Jupiter wrote on Twitter that a campaign aide said that the steaks were from the Trump line. A photo from that reporter shows what appears to be Bush Brothers wrapping.

By the end of the day that meat-packing plant will be eagerly pitching a deal to him to rebrand their product as “Trump Steaks”.
So now the big debate in this election involves steak?
minutia they were his they’re served in his restaurant under his name this fight is already won by trump time for the next one
Of course they weren’t. Trump Steaks went out of business. I can go to the store right now, buy a couple, season and cook them how I like em and call them mine.
Yes, they were Trump stakes. Do you think Trump owns cattle ranches and slaughter houses to make his own stakes?
You got him now. /sarc
I’m already looking to order his vino.
Seriously? You’re literally going through Trump’s trash now to find out they weren’t Trump steaks?
In the words of Joe Biden; “BFD”!
stakes = steaks damn auto type.
Did someone remove your period key?
And of all places to sell steaks. The Sharper Image? How retarded is that?
Let them eat Bush!
Oh the humanity!!!
How petty can you get? WHO CARES, Daily Caller? Good grief. These people will go to any lengths to “get” Trump.
Psssst.....noby f’n CARES!
Bwahaha! Sorry, couldn't keep a straight face...
If supporting Al Sharpton, the Clintons, Obama, the Democrat Party, amnesty, universal health care, eminent domain, gun control, Planned Parenthood, foreign workers, etc does not derail the Orange One then I fail to see his outright lying about steaks doing the trick.
