2. their new contract with who?

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.

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.

The corrupt US Supreme Court has made it so.

[JBTaurus83]

26. Jesus Christ, it's Jabba the Hutt

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

[Wednesdays]

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

[usonian]

[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.

[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
