Trademark

A trademark, trade mark, or trade-mark is a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others, although trademarks used to identify services are usually called service marks. The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization, or any legal entity.

And Trump Trade Mark is not for ‘Fair Use’ it doesn’t fall under that usage.... Trump Trade Marks are for the Golf Courses, Resorts, Hotels, Products plus his Children’s Foundations, it is a World Wide Trump Trade Mark...and can’t be ‘fair use’.....

“And Trump Trade Mark is not for ‘Fair Use’ it doesn’t fall under that usage.... “


Fair Use exemptions apply to ALL trademarks, Trump doesn’t get some special protection!

““Nominative fair use” means the use of another’s trademark to refer to the genuine goods or services associated with the mark. The term “nominative” reflects that the mark generally is the most informative name for the specific goods or services intended to be referenced.
...
Nominative fair use generally is permissible as long as (1) the product or service in question is not readily identifiable without use of the trademark, (2) only so much of the mark is used as is reasonably necessary to identify the product or service and (3) use of the mark does not suggest sponsorship or endorsement by the trademark owner.”
