Donald Trump's news conference meets home shopping network

Donald Trump received some serious free air time for a number of his products during his news conference following Tuesday’s primary victories in Mississippi and Michigan.

The extended bit promoting all of his products came while he was criticizing the speech Mitt Romney gave last week, where Romney talked about all of Trump’s failed companies.

“We have Trump Steaks,” Trump said. “By the way, if you want to take one, we’ll charge you about $50 a steak.”

In fact, Trump had everything set up prior to even taking the stage.

Supplying products to your own hotels is considered a successful business?

You are right! We know what he’s selling steaks, vodka, universities, we know ALL his hot poll numbers, we know everybody is voting for him, and we know there is LI’L MARCO and LY’N TED.......but what does all this have to do with the condition this country is in and just what is he going to do about it?

It was Hilarious! I enjoyed every minute of it. I've never seen a politician, or any public figure, rough up the press and put them in their place like Trump did tonight whenever they asked stupid rhetorical questions.

What do you sell at your own hotels, casinos and golf courses?

Mitt Romney said that these businesses no longer existed because they had failed. Showing the products proved that was a LIE. He said the Trump Air Line didn’t exist because it had failed. That was true, but Trump said that he came out OK on the deal. The Wikipedia article is interesting, and explains a lot of what was going on at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Shuttle

Now, various foreign leaders who have been taking America for a ride these past decades are looking at what Donald Trump is doing and they are thinking, “Maybe we should treat America a little better, if this guy makes it to the White House.” Do you want that for America, or do you want to continue to be ripped off by friend and foe alike?

There is no way I’m getting ripped off by tons of cheap products at Walmart. It’s a godsend to the lower and middle class that we’re allowed to get these imports tariff-free.

I laughed through out the whole thing.

The GOPe took their best shot at him and lost, bigtime.

He’s one tough bastard.

He’s just what the doctored ordered for this country.

Selling products to YOURSELF is not a business!

I saw Van Jones faux outrage over this. Where was Van after Romney’s diatribe? Did he diss Mitt? Nooooo...

Dude, you must not cook. Those were prime cowboy ribeyes that with souse vide and a damned good sear would make you cry. Worth $50 on a New Years eve or your birthday.

You are probably a vegan, or not a modern man who can outcook his wife in the kitchen or BBQ or smoker or well..... in the bedroom.

Send her over. I will teach her.

I know a little about steaks too. And if I'm spending $50 on a steak, I'm not going to buy it sight unseen. I'm going to the high end butcher shop in town, watch him cut it trim it and package it. I'm not going to wait for it to be sent to me on dry ice. Only suckers would do that.

And apparently there weren't enough suckers to buy those frozen steaks, because the Sharper image haven't offered them since 2007.

Really, show me where you can buy “Trump” steaks, or “Trump” vodka or “Trump” magazine. He can bring out anything he wants, but if they’re not for sale they’re not a business.

Trump is a virtual reality star. Virtual reality stars have one product: themselves.

You're right and that's ALL he's got going for him, the media coverage. Once the general campaign starts, the media would put Trump on media blackout and turn into 24/7 Hillary infomercials. Amazing you would base your electoral success on trusting the media to deliver it for you with free air time. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!

You would think that would bother Freepers. Great performance, but, not the most honest one.

You have a job? You are one of the lucky ones that can afford to go to Wall-Mart.
