MEXICO CITY (AP) —
A Mexican businessman offended by President Donald Trump's insults to his countrymen is seizing on a possible oversight in the magnate's branding plans.

Corporate lawyer Antonio Battaglia is introducing "Trump" brand toilet paper, marketed under the slogans "Softness without borders" and "This is the wall that, yes, we will pay for."

Mexico's Institute of Industrial Property has granted Trump's company trademarks on his name in sectors such as construction, hotels, tourism, real estate and financial services. But the Trump Organization didn't bother to cover what's referred to in Spanish as "hygenic paper," and Battaglia's trademark for Trump toilet paper was approved in October 2015, according to the institute's records.

Packages are expected to begin rolling off production lines later this year, with 30 percent of the profits promised to programs supporting migrants.

6. The title is wrong-They were directly insulted by Putin's boyfriend Trumplethinskin...

So the whole "feeling" insulted makes them seem thin skinned. Not the case I hope you agree.

11. Too Funny!

This thread is especially humorous for me because I long ago installed an add-on to my Firefox operating system that changes every instance of "Trump" to "Rich Asshole" or "Some Rich Asshole". So it's quite fitting and reads like it was meant to be! "Rich Asshole" brand toilet paper. Indeed!

Trump's smiling face on each section of the toilet paper itself. I wanna know, up close and personal, that Trump is eating my shit.

16. Update on My Previous Post...

I just googled up an article in a Mexican online newspaper that reported on the new toilet paper, and made my upgrade suggestion there, in Spanish. I even posted it on Facebook as well.
