I want his entire business empire destroyed along with his spawn. I look forward to learning about this.

Yes, I am a vengeful person when pushed.

I'm afraid that I am a bit of a Mother Bear when it comes to protecting those I care about. And that includes all of America that has been so badly wronged by this terrible man and his terrible administration.

Sometimes they're just waiting for the outrage to near a tipping point.

So I tip my hat off to you.

If he gets any inkling that he might end up behind bars, he'll jump ship to Moscow.

I want everything and everyone around him destroyed. That is not my desire for vengeance, that is my desire for justice. Okay, maybe the two overlap in this case.

and has firewalls set up.

As for me, my fantasy is that he's put in a cell with an open toilet with a very patient, kind Hispanic cellmate with horrific bowel issues.

any information. I'd think he was opening himself up to a quick Cease and Desist Order slapped on by Chump's legal attack dogs. They must not be on the ball.

I take it that, because Donny's Scottish golf courses did not (collectively) generate enough business/members, his Org. lost the exclusive rights to the Trump name for a whole slew of things.

The article is up but I don't have a membership to read it:

From the article - a Luxembourg firm, Anthee SARL, requested the trademarks be taken away from the Trump Org in the EU:

The company’s managing director, Axel Goethals, a Belgian-national, is also the CEO of the European Institute for Asian Studies (EIAS), a Brussels-based think tank which aims to “strengthen ties” between Asia and Europe.
...
Anthee SARL holds no EU trademarks. However, according to the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property, which oversees intellectual property in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, it applied on 9 November 2016 - the day after Trump’s election victory - to register a trademark with the Trump name covering various services, including financial and real estate developments.
...
“The attraction lies in the TRUMP name and reputation which pulls in European Union consumers, whether the actual services are provided out of Scotland, Ireland, the United States of America or Canada,” one document states, adding that the Trump name had acquired “an enhanced distinctiveness in relation to hotels and golf resorts, and was familiar to ordinary consumers thanks to its “global reach and fame.”

However, a three-strong team of trademark examiners at EUIPO’s cancellation division concluded that the information provided showed the services were provided in several places in the US and Turkey, “none of which are part of the relevant territory.”

The article also say golf course use at Turnberry dropped from 11,835 in 2014 to 7,483 in 2018, and the membership decrease from 434 to 373.
