In 2018, China Granted Ivanka Trump A Trademark On Coffins

We all probably know that Princess Electra has been gobbling up trademarks in China, not for the items to sell there, but for product the Trump Empire wants to market here. It's a rather long list, but I thought the coffins trademark was noteworthy, I guess she can make a killing here on those, (pun intended).

Of course, that old fashioned idea of ethics has been thrown out the window by Ivanka and her family, so should we bother to complain? Anyway, death makes a profit?

And voting machines, too! You'll be proud to cast your vote on a genuine, Trumpomatic(tm), preloaded, voting machine! In fact, you won't even have to bother. We have you covered from voting to death!

Sounds fishy? Was she getting ready for the regime?


The trademarks could allow her brand to market myriad products in China, from baby blankets to coffins. Ms. Trump has placed her brand’s management and assets in a family-run trust, but she continues to make money from it.

Though she’s diverted management to make time for her responsibilities at the White House, it raises a lot of questions about how ethical her position really is.

just over half the people in the U.S. now choose cremation & that number is growing every year. Unless her trademark includes urns, this won't make her much.

I hadn't taken that into consideration.

Well, they could use the coffins as display cases for other fine Trump products like frozen steak, wine, vodka, etc. Not a total waste.

If so, she is a ghoul. I hate her either way. She is just as disgusting as her POS father.
