Corruption and Fealty, Coastie Ed.

Coast Guard Exchanges at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in Centreville, Virginia, recently stocked Trump-branded wine and cider, according to a photo posted on Instagram and confirmed by Forbes from calls to the stores.

Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin confirmed the exchanges were carrying Trump wines in a statement to Forbes, saying, “The brave men and women of the USCG are pleased to be able to buy Trump wine and cider tax free.

If Biden had sold coffee through the military exchanges, the Republicans would have twisted them into knots in their haste to get in front of a microphone. But there will be nothing but crickets from the Right on this.

It is corrupt? Possibly. But it sure smells rotten for a present to sell his goods through a semi-captive system.

  2. So the Department of Homeland Security is not only persecuting any people less than pure white or speak another language but is also a sales rep for the Trump Organization. Go figure.
    Maybe Trump found out that during the 1933 to 1945 era in Germany the Gestapo was selling portraits of Hitler. And everyone better have had one in a place of honor with no glasses or additional mustaches added. /S
