WTF is wrong with Obama

[clubgop]

Yeah, I can see how the president selling hats will lead to The Collapse. Seems legit.

Yeah the fact that the Clinton's are worth hundreds of millions of dollars shows that Trump is the first president to theoretically monetize their office and he is setting a dangerous trend with the baseball caps. If we start seeing maga fedoras or t-shirts this will be uncharted territory and potentially the end of civilization. In fact, this is further evidence of how he subverted the election. I don't think Hillary even thought about using t-shirts, bumper stickers, or any kind of merch to advertise her campaign. Think about it. Do a google search. Try to find any I'm with her shirts or bumper stickers. You won't. I'm getting a bit alarmed now. Why didn't Hillary make any merch? What's going on? Obama didn't either now that I think of it!

A fine demonstration of hack bitch behavior. Bravo Daralon.

Hope and Change was a deep slogan that actually made a difference. It hopefully changed spying laws by expanding their scope and abuse while managing to keep everything the same, and made an awesome insurance company giveaway that tripled my premiums. MAGA is quite vapid compared to the depth and sophistication of this slogan which makes Kant's Critique of Pure Reason look like a beach read.

Hardhats for Hillary! Woo-hoo!

Guys, ya better buy one to hand down to your grandkids. These things are going to be collectors item. The Dems are tossing the Clinton's out and in a decade we'll look back and laugh about how that crazy bitch managed to convince 99% of the press, celebrities and urbanites that she should be POTUS.

To my knowledge (and a quick google search), no candidate for public office has ever taken an 'exclusive trademark' on their campaign merch, for personal profit.

But fuckit, cauze Democrats n' stuff.

Trump applied for a trademark for "Make America Great Again" in November 2012 -- mere days after the last presidential election.

Trademark applications typically take a long time to process. Trump only received the "Make America Great Again" trademark in July of this year.

Here's where it gets interesting: The trademark is specifically for "political action committee services." In other words, it doesn't say anything about hats, T-shirts, etc.

Ever since Trump started sporting his red hat in early August with "Make America Great Again," it's become a hot seller online. And not only on Trump's website.

Supporters can buy the hat -- in numerous different colors -- for $25 directly from Trump's campaign merchandise website. Or they can get a ripoff version from thousands of other sellers for as little as $4.99.

So in other words you can buy the "official" one at a premium, or a knockoff from someplace else cheaper.
Not very "exclusive" imho.

Should I have a problem with Trump getting royalties from MAGA Hats? I don't feel like I should.

Not unless you have a problem with this being the new normal for the rest of your lifetime.

Marketing teams are going to design and sell millions of ‘whatevers’ for each campaign from now on. You’ll be blasted with a new one every 4 years, and they’ll break campaign finance laws forever.

Now, it’s going to be all about a catchy slogan and “image”, rather than even a vague semblance of “the issues”. It’s end-stage capitalism at its finest.

Prepare for maximum reality tv marketing, from here until The Collapse.

He's just discovering this now?

So what? Are you afraid Al Gore is going to get an 'exclusive trademark' on the whole internet he invented?
