"Trump Steaks, sold through The Sharper Image and QVC, were genuine USDA-grade prime beef but experienced a short-lived existence and ridicule."
"Despite being USDA prime, Trump Steaks' unconventional sales method—through catalog and TV shopping—was met with skepticism and mockery from steak enthusiasts."
Donald Trump's foray into the meat business with Trump Steaks, launched in 2007, was marked by both intrigue and controversy. Priding themselves on being USDA-grade prime beef, the steaks were initially promoted as 'the world's greatest steaks,' but the brand was short-lived, existing only for a few months. Sold through non-traditional channels like The Sharper Image catalog and QVC, Trump Steaks attracted significant ridicule, particularly for Trump's personal preference for well-done meat. Despite the quality of the beef, the unusual marketing and rapid disappearance left a lasting impression in food industry history.
