So the team at The Daily Show did. And they found out he was lying and telling half-truths about many of the products on stage. What The Daily Show found:

"Trump Steaks" do not currently exist, and you can't buy one for $50 (which Trump mentions in his speech). Trump Steaks were actually sold by Sharper Image, whose CEO at the time said that virtually none of the Trump Steaks sold.

"Trump Wine" is not affiliated with Donald Trump, who said he owned it without a debt or a mortgage to pay. On the Trump Winery website, it says clearly that it is not owned or affiliated with Donald Trump.

"Trump Magazine" went out of circulation in 2009 and published 10 issues. But Trump referred to a magazine called the Jewel of Palm Beach in his speech and called that his magazine. It's the magazine that is supplied in his hotels, and he is not the publisher.

"Trump Water" is generic bottled water that "he slapped his name on."
