I just figured out what to rename Aunt Jemima stuff to

As most of us are aware, the company who makes the Aunt Jemima line of food products is changing the name because they’ve realized it’s a racial slur.

I believe they should change the name to Donald Trump. They’ll sell Donald Trump Waffle Syrup, Donald Trump Waffle and Pancake Mix, Donald Trump Frozen Waffles...Trump will go for it if he’s paid five cents per package as a royalty.

Republicans will buy this line of products because they love Trump, at least for now.

Democrats will buy it because Trump is the worst waffler in our country’s history and we understand the joke.

That's harsh. I would trademark "Donald Trump Septic Tanks" and "#45 Septic Tanks" rzemanfl Aug 2020 #2
Yeah, that's a surefire way to bankrupt that division. SaveOurDemocracy Aug 2020 #3

(maker of Aunt Jemima products)... They are willing to change the name and rebrand in response (however belated) to public concern. I'm good with that.

I wouldn't name a septic tank after Trump.

I even thought of NOT buying Mary tRump's book b/c of the photo of Chump on the cover, but decided to just remove the dust jacket so I don't have to look at his ugliness. The book sounded too interesting to pass up.
