The Trump Organization filed several previously unreported trademark applications last week in connection with America’s 250th anniversary celebration, all featuring the president’s name as a centerpiece of the highly-anticipated festivities.

The trademarks were filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by DTTM Operations LLC, which manages several other trademarks used by Trump and his businesses, over the last several days.
In one filing submitted on Friday, a “Trump 250” image was trademarked to be used on a variety of merchandise — including bumper stickers, tote bags, drinkware, clothing items and golf balls. A wordmark application was also submitted for the name “Trump 250” on Friday.

The same merchandise items were also listed as potential uses for a number of variations of an image that features Trump’s name along with “a design of five aircrafts followed by converging contrails.” A trademark application for that image was also submitted Friday.

Neither the Trump Organization’s trademark lawyer nor the White House responded to requests for comment on Sunday.

Until all the Epstein files are released (and without unnecessary redactions), how are we to know?

I so f'n old, I remember when the GOPOT heard an unsubstantiated rumor, based on an innuendo, about a lie from a known Russian apparatchik that Hunter Biden might have made -3 cents off President Biden's administration and GOPOT got their panties in a twist.

And I was actually recruited several years back (I think it was during Trump's first term actually to so how long ago it was) to get involved with America 250, but I had just come off of heavy multiple year involvement in another commemoration, so I politely declined. Up until a year ago, part of me had regretted it because I thought this would have been a lot of fun. But when Trump came back and started to take over America 250, suddenly I was relieved I had not gotten wrapped up in it!

would be if it were to mean the length in years of his prison term for all the truly heinous things he’s done.
