1. Are the products made in America?

Free market capitalism?

[FakeNoose]

15. Sarcasm much?

[Takket]

2. their new contract with who?

[underpants]

18. Trademark so they can sell merch AND he has to approve vendors.

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.

3. Like Trump gives a shit about the Emoluments Clause.

[George McGovern]

11. In his dishonor, it could be renamed the "Scandal Clause".

[dem4decades]

12. Or The President Trump Grift Gift Clause

16. Exit through the GRIFT SHOP.

In homage to many tourist attractions and museums that have an arrow and a sign saying: Exit through the Gift Shop.

29. I always felt Trump's impeachment proceedings should have been based on his many violations of this clause.

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.

[TomSlick]

4. The grift goes on.

[OldBaldy1701E]

47. Well, I have nothing to add to that, so... yeah. (n/t)

50. As I looked at that picture

I though how evil is writing its name on his face just like the brushstrokes on the picture of Dorian Gray.

[sheshe2]

13. Dear lord, the hair!

It looks like the parting of the Red Orange Sea.

I can't unsee that pic! 😱😱😱

Whatever it is, it's wasted on stale canned ham.

[Irish_Dem]

6. The Trump Crime Family is exempt from all US laws, constitution, ethics, etc.

The corrupt US Supreme Court has made it so.

[bluestarone]

8. Sick fuck!!

[enid602]

He really should be permanently kicked out of the Hair Club for Men for leaving the house looking like that.

24. Soon, the only jets that will be flying will be private jets

Only the ultra-wealthy will be able to afford the fuel.

[Buddyzbuddy]

25. I'm surprised the Felon hasn't tried to trademark

the capital letter "T".

[JBTaurus83]

26. Jesus Christ, it's Jabba the Hutt

That pic should come with a warning. He looks like total hell.

[Wednesdays]

43. The right side of his face (our left)

...it's clear he's had some strokes.

[GB_RN]

27. With Cantaloupe Caligula The Corpulent...

It is ALWAYS about the grift and the graft. It’s that simple.

[Deuxcents]

28. OMG 😱 I just ate dinner and now I'm literally sick 🤢

[Initech]

30. This is such fucking bullshit.

It is going to be fun destroying all this shit when he's finally gone.

[usonian]

31. You do realize how your post looks on a small screen?

[tanyev]

32. He appears to be metamorphosing into a toad.

[Zackzzzz]

33. At first, I thought it was Jabba the Hutt

My second thought was.................

[Joinfortmill]

35. Not For Nothin... But Donald has snake eyes..

Guy's a serpent.

[sakabatou]

36. Donny doesn't give a shit about which, and how many, laws he breaks

[Talitha]

37. There were some old men in the south side Chicago neighborhood I grew up in.

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.

[bamagal62]

53. I've wondered the same.

He’s probably lying about that as well. He lies about everything else.

[GenThePerservering]

56. There's a lot of things that cause swollen eyes besides drink

Trump's just an ugly bastard.

[calimary]

38. How soon can we get a name change for that airport?

And get rid of all the Trump crap that’s meant to fleece unsuspecting souvenir hunters. It will be worthless even before they plunk down their money for it.

[B.See]

39. The Grifter-in-Chief, pimping the entire country

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.

Who gets food stamps? Viral chart misleads about SNAP recipients' race, ethnicity - Politifact

Distribution of People Ages 0-64 with Medicaid by Race/Ethnicity - KFF

[JokeHer]

41. I swear he looks

just like Jabba the Hut. Probably just as intelligent too.

[LeftInTX]

42. Nobody will do anything about this

[Blue Owl]

44. tRump vomit bags

[GiqueCee]

45. Ol' Scrotumface...

... isn't likely to give a shit about the Emoluments Clause. He thinks he's above the law, and in practical terms, he is, thanks to the Sinister Six on the SCOTUS.

[Kid Berwyn]

46. So, what's the point of being pee-rentaldunce if not to get filthy rich?

Trump only had to betray his country to get this far.

[pansypoo53219]

48. i hope we have lots of backsies in 2007.

[OMGWTF]

49. Laws are for Democrats because as everyone knows IOKIYAR.

[Turbineguy]

51. Including "trump" toilet paper?

[The Blue Flower]

52. It came to steal, kill, and destroy

Its Master is giving it high props so far.

[spanone]

54. No laws apply to mr trmp.

he has proven that over the last ten years

he is pure evil.

[kacekwl]

55. Oh well
