The phrase you're looking for is "likelihood of confusion". Fake Rolex watches may confuse the customer into thinking they're buying an actual Rolex product. But if someone were to put "Rolex can't keep time" on a t-shirt, there is no confusion.

It rather does. The First Amendment has traditionally been interpreted to protect political speech first and foremost - certainly in preference over commercial speech.

Can I build a hotel and name it Trump?
You might have benefited from reading the article. But - no. You can'r do that. As luck would have it, we're discussing t-shirts and not hotels.

CafePress, 6DollarShirts, Zazzle and eBay still have them. Trump's lawyers are going to keep very busy this year. I wonder if he copyrighted The Donald, too....not that it matters for political free speech.

What's really changed?

We still have a bunch of people making empty promises with little promise they'll be fulfilled..

And you your self say the only way to avoid candidates bawling is to change the channel, NO change there, eh?

BTW, I've never particularly liked Trump and it's got nothing to do with politics, only that I've never seen him as anything but a loud-mouthed spoiled brat.

Bye bye Donny, go back to Trump Tower and throw temper tantrums like a kindergarten student. Id love to smack that brat.
What were you trying to show me? That Trump is leading in all of the polls? And? We already knew that.

Your last two statements have given me quite a good laugh, however. I already pointed out elsewhere that this is all anyone has on him: "He's mean, he's not nice, he's childish". That's it. I find that hysterical.

well then, it's a good thing the RNC didn't trademark "Making America Great Again" when they used it for their slogan in 1980.

... and Trump found it and made it his own. Brilliant, wouldn’t you say? BTW, name one other slogan in this campaign that anyone remembers.
