"All the words in the world can't begin to describe the pleasure of biting into one of these succulent, sizzling, mouth-watering steaks."
This actually made me laugh for some reason...
Not to mention the fact that his teeth are whiter than his shirt...

What creases me is the boastful talk about "my" restaurants--as if he were personally involved in purchasing and preparing the food, instead of just financing them, finding buyers and cooks, and taking most of the profit...

Thank you, Rachandra! I thought it was just meeee....gee maybe if they took a couple of real "Trump steaks", he'd get the point! Kind of Merchant of Venice, just a pound of flesh...from wherever! ;D
I've always wondered if Trump is his real name, given the fact that it refers to the winning card or suit in bridge and some other games. A little too coincidental, sounds like deed poll to me! :-X

Not only are his prices absurd, but I think that all the hype around the quality of the meat is all BS too. Look at one of his press releases:

Sharper Image refuses to believe that I don't want their catalog. On the cover was a picture of Trump sneering at the camera with CG hair pointing at his Trump Steaks, ranging in price from $199 to $999. Ewww...

Well, if YOU were his hair, wouldn't you make a break for freedom?? ;D He might as well have a sign around his neck that says, "This is a hairpiece--and not an expensive one, either!" (He probably paid boocoos for it but it looks cheap!)
I am still giggling, I sent this link to a British friend and she told me that "trump" is also British slang for "fart"--so---heee heee heee. I'm not nice at all. :D

trump steaks make great gifts??? what a weirdo. that's like wrapping up a sandwich for somebody. which i guess would make holiday shopping a lot easier. (note to self...)
and his tie looks like it's made out of plastic.
re: the trump/fart thing-- that's art in motion. he is the perfect muse.

I grew up in the meat-gorging Midwest and believe me, if you gave those people a thousand bucks worth of steak (even if it's not *worth* that price) their eyes would light up with greedy joy! My father was a plumber and one of his "moonlighting" clients was a meat distributor and used to pay him in steak. They certainly did cause joy in Mudville! Except of course for their "resident wierdo"--me.

i'm sorry, yabbitgirl. i hope i didn't offend you!
it just brought up a strange visual of opening a present on christmas morning to find a steak. i've rec'd some odd gifts before, but that would probably be the most random. i guess in another box would be the baked potato? hmm. stories from 'if rod serling were santa clause'.
i should mention we've been having a heat wave down here and my mind has been altogether dodgy and up for distraction. forgive me.

Not at all, JEI! No offense at all. I was the "resident weirdo" because I DIDN'T rejoice in a coupla poundsa dead animal being offered as a gift. Give me vegetables! I was the one who rejoiced in the whole summer canning and freezing and jam making extravaganza. (Ever hear Garrison Keillor's Old tapes on that?) I was the only one in the family who didn't groan when someone snuck up on our porch at night and deposited bags of produce! ;D At that time in that place, you didn't dare go to the Safeway and park away from the front door...you'd find bags of zucchini in the back when you went to stow your groceries!

I think all steaks should be $999. - after all, the steer would agree that was a fair, if not low, price; and the price would act as a deterrent to consumption, thereby improving the health of the nation. And, we wouldn't have to subsidize the beef industry with our taxes!
Great idea, Donald! ;)

I happened to catch a bit of Saturday Night Live just now...they did a sketch making fun of Trump Steaks. Nothing propogating vegetarianism, but just making fun of the whole concept of buying meat from The Sharper Image and Donald Trump. At least it shows that people do think this is ridiculous.
