    “Whatever happened to Trump Airlines? How about Trump University? And then there’s Trump Magazine, and Trump Vodka, and Trump Steaks!”

Wait, what? Did he just crib Jon Oliver without any credit?

I don't think John Oliver holds the patent on presenting Trumps failures.

No, of course not, but he just did a hugely viral expose on those exact same failures like four days ago. Mitt Romney didn't think of Trump Steaks. Who the hell knew that it even existed until last Sunday?

Bitch, those of us who lived in the hinterlands and interacted with the world at large through mail-order totally remember Trump Steaks. They were the inside front cover of The Sharper Image catalog for about six months, after the suit of armor and before the imitation Uzi. Between Sharper Image and DAK we got to participate in the world.

Fun fact: we bought a Visual Commuter out of DAK and upgraded it to a hard drive by fuckin' soldering the traces on the Mobo. That's back when shit was real.

If the Visual Commuter looks familiar:

I've actually heard those being lampooned for a while since Trump's campaign started getting steam. They were referenced in that "Darth Trump" video. It's so ridiculous and perfectly written to make fun of that I still have doubts whether they existed or not.
