Trump-branded escort service revealed on #InternationalWomensDay. The irony writes itself.
















China swiftly approves nearly 40 new Trump trademarks, including hotels and escort services

China has rapidly approved nearly 40 new trademarks for President Trump and his family in the past few weeks — just the latest Trump business deals that ethics experts see as a possible Constitutional violation.

China’s Trademark Office published the 38 preliminary approvals on Feb. 27 and on Monday, after already registering one Trump construction trademark earlier in February, records show. The office approved applications for hotels, golf clubs, shops, real estate companies, restaurants and even bodyguard and escort services — paving the way for a potential Trump empire in China.

The marks will be formally approved after 90 days unless there are official objections.

One intellectual property expert in Hong Kong said he had never seen the office OK so many applications so swiftly.

"What about we let him hold a presidential speech that gets him really good headlines and then BAM, his attorney-general commits perjury. Drama!"

"Oh! Oh! What about if he talks about his support for women and then it gets revealed that he's doing business with brothels? No? Too much? Why is that too much? You liked the sub-plot about money-laundering with the azerbaijani mafia!"

The American president, married to a former soft porn model and rumored-to-be escort, who admitted to being a sexual abuser, now will be a pimp?

Incredible
