Post# of 27043
Trump Steaks, launched as a partnership between Donald Trump and The Sharper Image, was a meat and steak product line marketed by Donald Trump in 2007. This product range was met with a lot of skepticism and criticism, and ultimately, it would go down as one of Trump's most famous and infamous business endeavors.
Trump Steaks were sold in The Sharper Image and QVC stores, as well as in Trump Tower, with the major selling points being the quality of the meat, none of which was USDA approved, and the presentation. The steaks came packaged in a luxurious mahogany box with a slogan, "It's not just a steak, it's a Trump Steak." The packages ranged between $199 and $999, which came with a complimentary golf towel.
Customers who bought the steaks found they were not getting the expected quality. Many consumers described them as "below average" and "tough" regarding quality and taste. In addition, most of them were rated lower quality than most other steaks available on the market. The steaks were also extremely expensive compared to the production costs, which resulted in complaints about the prices needing to be lowered. Furthermore, reviews indicated that the kits frequently needed items, including the promised golf towel.
