Lol not to mention the “SM” trademark logo down there absolutely will not stop people from just copy/pasting this jpeg onto their scams en masse lol
This is literally a boon for trump scammers. Embed that stupid ass photo onto your scam site, watch the money roll in. This helps the scammers, if anything.
But only an authentic seal will turn orange when exposed to a stream of urine.
That just reminded me of the alleged piss fetish video of trump that's floating around somewhere. US politics are wack
What's the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean? Trump has never paid to have a garbanzo bean on him.
Oh shit it's trickling down :O
The only trickle down that actually exists
This is comic _gold_en shower 😂
Who's to say that his org isn't behind some of the scams? That way they get the donations without those pesky campaign finance regulations. Half joking, but I wouldn't put it past him to be honest.
That definitely shouldn’t be half a joke. Almost all American campaign fundraising is a joke and a scam. Not o mention the current laws protecting dark money and the massive loopholes for funneling money. Everything that shady ass campaign did with their fundraising and the hoards of thieves teeming in the halls of any and every trump campaign office, the only violation was him using a check to pay off a porn star. And that only had any repercussions because it was such a tawdry story with such stupid criminals openly admitting to their crimes on record. Like…I guarantee you way worse shit has been done with way more campaign cash. It just isn’t actually prosecuted (along with almost all other white collar crime in the US since the 80s).
didn't find a matching registration in TESS (uspto db).
Registration of a mark costs money, why would Trump spend money on his own scam?
What does SM even stand for? I haven't seen that one before
Service Mark. It's a trademark but for a service instead of a product.
Scamming As a Service? ;)
Shitty Marketing.
It's not trying to stop scammers. It's a way to stop other GOP super PACs from collecting money. He just wants to make sure his own supporters are only giving him money and not anyone else.

At first I didn’t believe it was legit.
Nobody fleeces my rubes but me says the Nigerian Prince of American politics.
It’s a great strategy providing the “scammers” are unaware of right click copy and right click paste 😂
The man has spent his entire life renting his name out to scammers. He's only upset that he's not getting a cut.
the article didn't say how much his _seal of trumproval_™ would cost to use.
Copy paste doesn’t work. This is a bona fide NFT, good sir. /s
The form on Trump's website to request use of the seal does nothing to block robots or spam.

Do with that information what you will...
I sure hope that I, Poop Dick, (1-800-HOT-LIPS, poopdick@yourmom.com) am approved to use this glorious seal
you’ll have my vote
Welp, now I'm incredibly tempted to send a ton of requests using junk data running on an Amazon webserver...
Do you HATE democracy? Do you just wanna own all the libs? Vote Trump 2025.
This message paid for by the Trump Foundation for destabilizing America
Isn't the picture on the seal taken from The Apprentice? Can Mark Burnett go after him in any way (or is he more an accomplice by giving him the platform in the first place?)?
I mean, Anything this "seal" is on is sure to be a scam, so ironically, it really does work to identify scammers.
Fucking traitor. Lock him the fuck up!
Right click, ‘Save As’.
Yeah, sure. Seems safe enough, no one could possibly copy that.
Lol you just need to pay Trump for the seal. Then you are free to scam away
You don't even need to pay him. Just stick the graphic on everything like pro-choice stickers, spoiled cartons of milk, bags for picking up dog shit, etc.
Oh this whole thing isn't just so he can piggy back off other peoples grift. This is so he can see who he can sue for using his likeness.
Approval seals are marketing gimmick. I used to make them.
Print a bunch of these as stickers, and put them on dumpsters.
The MAGA fanbase is sadly full of gullible people.
I really hope nobody here takes any ideas that could scam them. Like definitely do not 100% make a website or business on behalf of Donald Trump to take donations from Maga people and pocket it. Or some e-commerce random dropship thing with his face on it with 1000x profit on it.
Just need some huckster to slap those on bottled Russian lemonade and start selling them through the prison commissary wherever he ends up.
How many scammer have already downloaded this and are applying it to their scams lol
Lol, I can hear the scammers adding this image to their website already
I hope he keeps sapping the RNC until there's nothing left for them to do but sue him and kick him to the curb.
Then, he is found guilty of scamming all these rubes and he has to cut millions of 5 dollar checks. Oh, and pays the RNC lawyer fees because why not.
If you don’t scam this how could you call yourself a trump candidate.
That little SM at the bottom stands for "Scam Mark"
Looks like he's about to cry.
The bigger irony is the blue check marks Xitter users making fun of this seal in the article.
Cheap, iron pyrite-plated crap that's guaranteed to disappoint! That's the Trump promise!
(Trump promises not guaranteed to be honored.)
A perfect situation for an electronic signature to identify messages authorised by a particular campaign. Let me guess, it isn't that.
Cryptographic signatures are too hard for people to understand.
Unless you cut the word down to size and just call it "crypto". Then everyone gets it. Like, it means stuff happens on a computer and magic money appears.
Oh. Trump had someone photoshop something.
I thought Trump was referring the ketchup stains that he leaves everywhere from throwing plates when he's cranky.
