18. Trademark so they can sell merch AND he has to approve vendors.
Tue May 5, 2026, 06:40 PM
Yesterday

The controversial deal is unusual: other airports named after presidents don’t have trademarks owned by private companies. Trump’s companies and Palm Beach County administrators have argued the trademark agreement is necessary to protect the county from lawsuits, not for private profit.


For one, the agreement is non-exclusive to Palm Beach County. While Trump’s companies agreed not to receive royalties or revenue for the sale of Trump-branded items at the airport, the non-exclusivity clause leaves an opening within the agreement for Trump’s companies to sell airport-branded items off-site for profit, according to trademark attorney Josh Gerben.

Trump’s company also gets to make a list of “approved retailers” from which airport stores have to buy their airport-branded merchandise. If the county or any retail business want to sell products with the airport’s name on it, they have to purchase those products “exclusively and directly from such entities designated by Licensor.”

The licensor in this case is DTTM Operations, LLC, which manages Trump’s trademarks and secured the trademark for “Donald J. Trump International Airport” in February. Donald Trump Jr. is the president of DTTM, according to his signature on the draft agreement.

They were very concrete misdeeds, people could understand them instantly, and there was no wiggle room for all obfuscation that happened with the two impeachment attempts, esp. the first one about Trump pressuring Zelenskyy to investigate Biden (criminal, but too abstract). I don't think we'll be having a third chance.

With a card table and a hand written stand up card displayed in a stand.

The card will say,

"For $100 dollars/ just one " C" note -

you can play with , cuddle, and rub Trump's private parts."

Please move the waiting line along quickly because the Pres intends to visit 6 to ten other cities today as he tries to cash in on his office and rake in some dough.

We intend to return to this same exact location next week so we would appreciate if you told your family and friends about our - PAY for split second PLAY - with the President's button mushroom manly junk - All for only $100 dollars. No Xerox or counter fit money accepted.

Hand sanitizer will be supplied free of charge for your safety and health.
Please do not bring any battery operated vibrators or sex toys - THX.

Their eyes looked puffy just like Dump's eyes. They were heavy drinkers yet Dump claims not to imbibe. What the heck makes his eyes so puffy and swollen? Certainly not from shedding tears for his country or fellow man.
Seriously - are there meds that do that? He really looks like shit.

for all he can take. While he and his wealthy GOP cronies work to strip the poor and working poor from SNAP and Medicaid .

And his MAGAT devotees applaud it because they think it's hurting the people their filthy rich reps call "they and them" in their racist campaign ads.

NEWSFLASH: they're pimping YOU TOO, morons.
