    Barack and Michelle try their hand at thieving ...

    They're entitled so they figure trying to steal someone else's
    trademark is just fine.

    DT, how is hiring lawyers to hash out a trademark dispute, including possibly using hardball tactics, not something that Trump has done many many times? I rate this a Daily Fail, 3 out of 5 stars.

      What do you bet the Obamas win?

      A while back, someone trademarked "Blue Dress Condoms" (guaranteed to prevent those embarrassing stains) and the US Copyright officer ruled the trademark belonged to the Clintons, who had never even filed for it.

            Nothing exists in a vacuum. The sort of business practice that the Daily Fail sniffs at when practiced by person A is lauded when practiced by person B? How does that work? B in this case was just a familiar and convenient example, and (for once!) isn't being criticized. What is being criticized is the Daily Fail's ridiculous double standard. British tabloids suck.

                Lyman, true or false: the current POTUS has a real gift for inserting himself into the news cycle. Is it my fault that people here don't feel much like talking about him? Which is odd when you consider that his political movement, MAGA, which the majority here are inclined to support, is pretty much about whatever he says it is at the time. Anyways, I post plenty that doesn't mention him. So no, categorization rejected. Now with respect to Adolph, you are on the money, but I don't think he cares.

                  A battle between the Clintons and the Obamas will be something to watch and live long enough to tell.

                        he is a business man,, all news, good or bad, is free publicity to him,


                        and every president we have had, esp lately, has a been a bit of a narcissist, esp the last one,

                        not sure why you thing this is new

                          New has nothing to do with it. The fact is he is news, and there is nothing wrong discussing him here. And with all of this winning, one practically has to fight for a shot at starting a Trump thread. You've noticed?

                          As for relative narcissism between the current and former POTUS, if we score it by number of gold chairs, names on buildings, or quotes about "having the absolute right", is there any dispute who wins?
