Adding some intrigue to this story, Think Progress says that Chinese IP law prohibits trademarking the names of political leaders, with an example of Vladimir Putin as someone whose name can't be trademarked. Yet somehow, this Trump one came through, after he became President and after he committed himself to the One China policy!

I can't read Chinese so I guess I have to take their word for it, but if that's accurate, seems pretty sketchy!

Not sure if he's had fundraiser rallies the last two weekends (statement is ambiguous, he may not have meant that anyway) but, uh, yeah...

40, 50 years from now, Trump and his supporters will be remembered the same way as George Wallace and his have been. This is not "winning".

You've nominated one SCOTUS justice so far. When this guy eventually gets confirmed, all it does is bring the Court back to where it was before bigoted, homophobic slob Scalia kicked, a Court which accomplished almost nothing conservative whatsoever. Conservative Republican leadership will have completely stolen a seat by leaving Scalia's chair open for a year and a half, and it'll come back in the future to bite them in the ass when the same move gets used against them.

The wall is unlikely to ever be built. If it ever is, it'll be years from now, and paid for by us, which is a far cry from "immediate" construction of one paid for by Mexico.

Trump will likely end up deporting fewer undocumented immigrants than Obama, but looking ridiculous and bigoted in the process, since his delivery and execution both stink.

Virtually no sanctuary city, save for Republican-Mayor controlled Miami, has any intention of complying with Trump's moronic commands.

We already have a complex vetting process in place for allowing entry into the country. One good enough, in fact, that fewer deaths by Muslim terrorists occurred on US soil under Obama than did deaths by American toddlers shooting their own playmates in their homes with unsecured guns.

It's "morals". And what values did we lose? And how are we "complete trash"?

Also, crime rates nationwide are at near-record lows and have been plummeting steadily in the majority of large cities since the early 90's.

If you're going to regurgitate FoxNews talking points, try coming a bit harder.

Wow. Ten thousand people in a massive state he won showed up. Amazingly popular.

It would happen in any state in the country and you know it.

Walk it back Sushy, keep pretending like 10k people showing up in central Florida makes your historically unpopular president popular lol

Almost as popular as your day without immigrants protest or your general protest. Tens of thousands of protesters were expected. Maybe a hundred showed up.

Your riots are quickly petering out.

If you want to see real passion...go to a Trump ralley.

Trump is only unpopular with the unpolished segment of society. The rest of us are very much enjoying this victory. If a cockroach doesn't like my President why should I care? They will eventually be stomped out of exstence.

Mmmm, no; I doubt he's drawing much action if he shows up anywhere in the Northeast at the moment.

Not acceptable mongigig. Be much more careful how your refer to people and no talk of ending their existence please

That's both entirely about the poster and a self-proclaimed rehash. Keep it to the !!! threads please

Just watched some of the rally. Allowing that fan on stage to endorse him (assuming it wasn't planned) is a hell of a risk. What's the chances such an ardent trump fan doesn't have some really dodgy stuff/associations in his past?

Uh actually I think he would but not the kind of action he wants or is seeking.

Yeah I thought it was risky too FWIW. But I can't really claim it was a mistake though. We're just arm chair quarterbacks along for the ride.

A few more things on Pence and I'll let it go. If you really are worried about someone nominating pro choice judges you should be very concerned if Pence is POTUS. Also if you believe climate change is a major problem that needs to be addressed you should also be very concerned with Pence as POTUS. Honestly, you are much better off with TRUMP on both issues. Also Pence is an accomplished lawyer in his own right. He won't make many mistakes in promoting the conservative agenda.

Our unhinged, delusional, know-nothing president invented a new attack or something at his rally today

That was lame. It appears Trump is only comfortable in front of his fans. I was hoping for some new blunders but just more of the same. Whining about the travel ban decision, fake news blah blah, but lies about past leaders who hated the press was new but meh.

Dance for me next time like a good circus monkey Trumpsky.

Indeed, he may simply not care and maybe he is right that it makes no difference to him or his supporters if the fan turns out to be a huge embarrassment.

Don't get me wrong. Being willing to risk pence to get rid of trump doesn't mean I'm not horrified at the thought of pence being president as well. There's no doubt he could be even worse.

Sigh.

You know what I meant.

There was a segment on Fox News last night about Sweden so presumably our President just assumed everyone had watched that instead of realizing that not everyone watches Fox News and that is living in reality and hearing "in Sweden last night" and thinking he was talking about an attack.

Fawning over a pathological liar is a treatable condition.

Update:

Fake Fake news is actual news which is or has been falsely accused of being fake.

So when somebody calls actual news fake news, just add a fake in front of the fake in "fake news". Fake fake news. It's even chant-able.

I would greatly prefer Pence as President. Yes, he is more of a movement conservative than Trump, but a) I prefer movement conservatism to the nationalist populism of Trump and b) Trump is clearly unfit by character and temperament to be President and Pence is not.

Let me guess, you're a straight, white male living in a blue state? Unsurprising that you don't fear a President Pence.

Others? Not so lucky.

It's starting to feel like more and more that it's just one army of billionaires(the liberals) vs the other army of billionaires. And the liberal side is getting there ass kicked currently after being in so much power the last number of decades by indoctrinating through the media, Hollywood, and urban American culture. The other side finally realized the Internet was a huge opportunity they could use and get people behind their cause and control because it gave the MSM less control. The tactic was brilliant and worked. The crazy thing is that the other side is still winning even though most of the major tech and liberal billionaires own a lot of the Internet. They are just getting outsmarted in sociology by the other side.

I know, sounds really conspiracy theory crazy, but it's plausible.

So you would prefer to put someone in office that would actually have the power to be like totally committed to turning back the clock on Roe v. Wade and have the power to do so. Also someone who is committed to derailing the environmentalist agenda to someone whose temperament you don't like and in your view is lacking in character. In short a committed man to the conservative agenda with the power to move it forward in a big way and let's be real here, a man that the Republicans in Congress probably prefer. That to me is incredible. To me that is based on emotions a lot more and much less about political outcomes. If your position is that TRUMP is a threat to start dropping nukes indiscriminately fine, that seems irrational to me but to each his own. Btw I prefer Pence too albeit for different reasons than you do.
