BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump announces rebrand on all Trump brand services and products

Last edited Tue Oct 25, 2016, 09:48 AM - Edit history (1)

Due to lagging sales that many attribute to the Trump name and the increasing controversies surrounding it, 2016 Republican presidential nominee and businessman Donald J. Trump announced that the Trump Organization will be rebranding all products and services by year's end.

The new name for all Trump themed business?

"Icon".

"Whenever and wherever you see my name, you're going to think, 'Icon.'", Trump told reporters at a press event at the soon to be named Icon International Hotel in Washington, DC. "Whenever and wherever you see my face, you're going to think 'Icon.'"

"Because honestly, people, for anyone who knows anything about me, there's just one thing they could possibly say about me." Trump added before stopping and pointing both thumbs back at himself and smiling. "Icon!"

Trump added that of all his products, he's most excited about re-starting Icon University and engaging in more fundraising for the Icon Charitable Foundation.

Details at Eleven.

There are some reports out there that the Trump campaign is "in a funk." Wondering if it has anything to do with their running the worst campaign in the history of the world?

Rand and the rest of the Puke hopefuls, and it was kind of impressive in a vulgar sort of way. It at least cleared Bush out with all his money.

But by now Trump's surrogates are regarded as psychotics and fools by even the media! The media are actually beginning to do their jobs! Shocking!

He must think people are stupid. Anyone boycotting the Trump name will now avoid the new one. After they go through the expense of changing signs, packaging, towels and whatever, people will avoid that brand.

How many times will he have to do this before he realizes it's a lost cause?
