From meme coins to our nation's 250th Anniversary, Trump continues to enrich himself off the backs of working Americans.

https://www.notus.org/donald-trump/trump-organization-files-trademark-applications-america-250

In one filing submitted on Friday, a “Trump 250” image was trademarked to be used on a variety of merchandise.

The Trump Organization filed several previously unreported trademark applications last week in connection with America’s 250th anniversary celebration, all featuring the president’s name as a centerpiece of the highly-anticipated festivities.

The trademarks were filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by DTTM Operations LLC, which manages several other trademarks used by Trump and his businesses, over the last several days.

In one filing submitted on Friday, a “Trump 250” image was trademarked to be used on a variety of merchandise — including bumper stickers, tote bags, drinkware, clothing items and golf balls. A wordmark application was also submitted for the name “Trump 250” on Friday.

The same merchandise items were also listed as potential uses for a number of variations of an image that features Trump’s name along with “a design of five aircrafts followed by converging contrails.” A trademark application for that image was also submitted Friday.

...is that this is OUR nation's anniversary, not HIS anniversary.

The fucking narcissist wants to make it all about HIM as if it's HIS celebration. It's not. It's OURS. It belongs to AMERICA, NOT HIM.

He not only enriches himself off of it, but he is STEALING our nation's 250th birthday FROM US.

It's for We the People, NOT TRUMP.
