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.

But only an authentic seal will turn orange when exposed to a stream of urine.

That just reminded me of the alleged piss fetish video of trump that's floating around somewhere. US politics are wack

What's the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean? Trump has never paid to have a garbanzo bean on him.

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.

didn't find a matching registration in TESS (uspto db).

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.
