    Lol not to mention the “SM” trademark logo down there absolutely will not stop people from just copy/pasting this jpeg onto their scams en masse lol

    This is literally a boon for trump scammers. Embed that stupid ass photo onto your scam site, watch the money roll in. This helps the scammers, if anything.

      Who’s to say that his org isn’t behind some of the scams? That way they get the donations without those pesky campaign finance regulations. Half joking, but I wouldn’t put it past him to be honest.

        That definitely shouldn’t be half a joke. Almost all American campaign fundraising is a joke and a scam. Not o mention the current laws protecting dark money and the massive loopholes for funneling money. Everything that shady ass campaign did with their fundraising and the hoards of thieves teeming in the halls of any and every trump campaign office, the only violation was him using a check to pay off a porn star. And that only had any repercussions because it was such a tawdry story with such stupid criminals openly admitting to their crimes on record. Like…I guarantee you way worse shit has been done with way more campaign cash. It just isn’t actually prosecuted (along with almost all other white collar crime in the US since the 80s).

        Oh, they are. This is just a way to ensure that he gets a “cut” from all the other scammers, too.

        Registration of a mark costs money, why would Trump spend money on his own scam?

        Right, if it was registered they’d use the ® mark. ™ and ℠ are for trademarks and service marks not registered but still claimed.

      It’s not trying to stop scammers. It’s a way to stop other GOP super PACs from collecting money. He just wants to make sure his own supporters are only giving him money and not anyone else.

    Nobody fleeces my rubes but me says the Nigerian Prince of American politics.

    It’s a great strategy providing the “scammers” are unaware of right click copy and right click paste 😂

      The man has spent his entire life renting his name out to scammers. He’s only upset that he’s not getting a cut.

    Isn’t the picture on the seal taken from The Apprentice? Can Mark Burnett go after him in any way (or is he more an accomplice by giving him the platform in the first place?)?

    I mean, Anything this “seal” is on is sure to be a scam, so ironically, it really does work to identify scammers.

    Right click, ‘Save As’.

    Yeah, sure. Seems safe enough, no one could possibly copy that.

      You don’t even need to pay him. Just stick the graphic on everything like pro-choice stickers, spoiled cartons of milk, bags for picking up dog shit, etc.

        Oh this whole thing isn’t just so he can piggy back off other peoples grift. This is so he can see who he can sue for using his likeness.

    Just need some huckster to slap those on bottled Russian lemonade and start selling them through the prison commissary wherever he ends up.

    The MAGA fanbase is sadly full of gullible people.

    I really hope nobody here takes any ideas that could scam them. Like definitely do not 100% make a website or business on behalf of Donald Trump to take donations from Maga people and pocket it. Or some e-commerce random dropship thing with his face on it with 1000x profit on it.
