Sizing Up The “Trump Too Small” Trademark Drama's Awkward Revelations!

Today’s legal battle has enough twists and turns to rival any reality TV show. It all began with a memorable moment from the 2016 presidential debates when Marco Rubio and Donald Trump discussed hand size and other attributes, leading to "TRUMP TOO SMALL" on T-shirts. We unravel the bizarre journey of the creator's attempt to trademark the slogan despite the Lanham Act barring registrations naming living individuals without their consent. We also discuss Stormy Daniels' memoir, Ron DeSantis' cowboy boots, and how style has trumped substance since the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy debate. We also scrutinize Trump's trademarks in Russia and China and how trademark denial impacts free speech and profits. Dive deep into pivotal legal precedent from Matal v. Tam (a rock band called The Slants) and Iancu v. Brunetti (the FUCT clothing line) as the Supreme Court considers the case at hand. Disclaimer: This podcast is not legal advice.
