(197,353 posts)The controversial deal is unusual: other airports named after presidents dont have trademarks owned by private companies. Trumps 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 Trumps 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 Trumps companies to sell airport-branded items off-site for profit, according to trademark attorney Josh Gerben.
Trumps 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 airports 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 Trumps 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.

(3,549 posts)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.

(8,167 posts)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.

(8,913 posts)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.
