Trump admin’s latest trademark gives glimpse into president’s newest venture

  • The Trump Organization has filed new trademark applications for logos intended for America's 250th birthday celebrations, aiming to place President Donald Trump at the forefront.
  • Submitted by DTTM Operations LLC, the designs include Trump 250 and a logo featuring fighter jets with Trump's name, slated for use on merchandise like bumper stickers, T-shirts, and golf balls.
  • Separately, the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees filed a trademark application for The Trump Kennedy Center logo, suggesting its use on various commercial items.
  • These filings align with President Donald Trump's established practice of branding commercial ventures and public institutions with his name, a trend that has accelerated recently.
  • Planned 250th-anniversary events also include a UFC bout, an INDYCAR race, a $100 million 'Arc de Trump,' and a 'Patriot Games' athletic event, alongside the public-private partnership Freedom 250.
