I read the article and my comment was directed to the fact that someone who desires to be president would not need, and probably could not obtain such a trademark for his or her name if he or she became president. I doubt a candidate for president could trademark their name, at least while acting as a candidate.
But this is trademark law and there might not even be any precedents for a case like this.
An attractive female running for president would need it. Especially when Larry Flynt has a history of making porn films using her name to capitalize on her high profile.
She’d want Larry to know he’d be in court for years before the movie ever got released, therefore don’t even bother trying.
It states specifically in her application for “political elections, political websites and political/motivating speaking” so this is for political purposes.....it’s to protect her from enemies on the left for creating and using her name and brand for scurrilous reasons....it makes perfect since considering the amount of lies and malicious things that could be done and that includes running for office
