Eric Trump Burned For Using Impeachment Hearing To Sell Trump Wine

One Twitter user said the wine "pairs well with bribery."

Eric Trump wasn’t exactly drunk with power during Ambassador Gordon Sondland’s testimony on Wednesday ― but he definitely thought about getting drunk.

While Sondland was directly implicating President Donald Trump in a Ukraine shakedown, the president’s second-born son was figuring out how to make a buck off the whole impeachment situation.

His solution was to push Trump wines.

It is a perfect day for a nice bottle of this. These people are — insane.... @TrumpWinery pic.twitter.com/lkMVEorYKb

As you might expect, many Twitter users called out the dubious marketing stunt and Eric himself.

This has got to be a parrody.... no, no, it's really the President's son trying to sell cheap, noxious, wine and make a buck off of his father's impeachment inquiry hearing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Some people immediately thought of appropriate pairings.

The perfect wine to go with a well-done steak, bathed in ketchup!
(... and now i know, why you're called "the dumber one")

Some suggested a different spirit might be in order.

Others were confused by the Trump wine tweet.

Eric Trump admitting publicly that he needs to get drunk to get through today is somehow supposed to be a dunk on... Democrats??

And others just assumed Trump’s second son made a spelling error.

You forgot the 'H'

One person wasn’t going to buy until they got a full accounting of the wine’s flavor profile.

Does it taste like desperation to get a fathers love and shame.
