This is apparently the same threat that was "totally obliterated" maybe eight months ago.

Trump Org Files Trademarks to Put the President’s Name Front and Center at America’s 250th In one filing submitted on Friday, a β€œTrump 250” image was trademarked to be used on a variety of merchandise.

Trump will happily grift off our 250th anniversary because he can. www.notus.org/donald-trump...

You can choose to believe me or not -- I don't care either way -- but my post was sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek given Trump's repeated threats (see below for a sampler) to various media outlets.

No. Actually my problem is with the people who are stupid enough to watch -- and believe -- what they see on Fox "News." I don't have a problem with the Constitution at all.

Well, we know as a matter of fact that no one will go after them, with our without jurisdiction, which is sort of the point because they're more or less the propaganda arm of the administration. But I do appreciate your engagement. πŸ˜‰

In this administration, why would that matter?

Maybe the FCC should be looking at Fox News?

Just sayin’.

Looks like β€œIran started this war 47 years ago” is the Sunday morning news show talking point.

I suspect this is the direction we’re headed, too. Feels like. TACO here. A TACO of word salad, perhaps, but a TACO nonetheless.

Hasn't Trump told us how friendly he is with Vlad?

The "Golden Age" has reduced Manufacturing and Construction employment by 55,000 jobs over the past year, despite $18+ trillion in new investments and hundreds of billions in tariff revenue. (/s) Are we great again?

Golden Age to start next month.

TRUMP: I am imposing broad tariffs under IEEPA.
SCOTUS: IEEPA DOES NOT AUTHORIZE YOU TO DO SO.
TRUMP: I won.

Imagine getting this ruling and repeatedly telling the world that you won.

Counterpoint: No war that lasts forever should be considered a success.

Kudos to whomever said Iran’s nuclear program came back faster than Trump’s ear. Indeed.

I am no foreign policy expert, but I think you ensure the safety of your potential puppets so they’re alive to be installed.

When you reflect on the fact that we are now needlessly putting soldiers in harm’s way, remember that the Dow is 49,000 (dollars).

If you're keeping score at home, it is a virtual certainty that the $SPX will not notch a new high in the month of February.
