It is March and the lovely #EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "classic".

Oh no! The USA clown President Trump, who famously doesn't drink alcohol, put his name on a brand of Vodka! He doesn't drink because he blames alcohol for killing his brother, and yet he still wanted everybody else to dr… Sorry, I need a moment.

Here's a puzzle about beverages. Each clue below describes a long word like "classic." Each long word contains the name of a beverage like "lassi." Write words in blanks; when you're done, the circled letters in the beverage names should spell a beverage-adjacent-ish word. That beverage-adjacent-ish word contains a short word to describe Trump when he's so greedy that he takes money to put his name on a beverage he considers deadly. Note that when you form that short word, it's from the alcohol beverages.

It is March and the lovely #EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "air".

Oh no! The USA clown President Trump built his reputation as a successful businessman! But he tried to run an airline business and it failed! As did business after business!

Can you match some of Trump's failed businesses with the clues? For each, notice that number in brackets and take the Nth letter. That should spell a word for "pattern" that describes what happens when Trump puts his name on businesses.
