    The website states that Trump’s name and image are used under a paid license from CIC Ventures, a company Trump reported owning in his most recent financial disclosure.

    lmao, he literally can’t own his likeness anymore. Elected officials permanently lose their ability to own their own likeness.

    Obama objected to companies using his likeness in advertisements, but he couldn’t ever do anything about it because he’s the president and the First Amendment lets you do whatever you want with the name and likeness of an elected official.

    Even the “Trump” trademark could be dissolved if he tries enforcing it.

    On that note, anyone could make duplicates of his book without issue, because the Bible and the Constitution are public domain, and Trump’s name and likeness can’t be protected from misuse. Lots of funny things could be done in that regard.
