Not only does Trump uses songs without permissions, now he uses businesses without permission

A local market unwillingly in Trump spotlight

Grethe Kiley didn't think much about the film crew that set up in front of her family's market in Haddon Heights in July. Maybe the store would someday show up in a toilet paper ad, she speculated in passing.

Instead, the facade of John's Friendly Market - an institution in the New Jersey town - is front and center in a presidential television campaign commercial that Donald Trump began running last week in nine battleground states, including Pennsylvania.

<<<snip>>>

Then longtime customers started calling, wanting to know if the market was supporting Trump. Some said they might take their shopping elsewhere if that was the case.

"My concern is, our image is being connected with a particular candidate," Kiley said. "It just feels invasive and intrusive. Plus the fact that we were misled."


That's bullshit if Trump is using a business without their permission. I know if I saw one of my favorite local businesses in a Trump ad I'd dump them in a heartbeat. Heck there is a restaurant I won't go to anymore because they put a Christine O'Donnell sign in their parking lot (wasn't a favorite but had been there a few times).

Utter bullshit!

No need to ask any permission from anyone. I'm Donald J.Trump, goddamn it! On your knees!
