Donald Trump simply cannot overlook a moment that includes a rather overrated brag of his name. This time it seems he is intrigued to push out his name even further, coinciding it with the history of America itself. To put it in simpler words, the Trump Organization recently filed multiple trademark applications for logos tied to America’s 250th birthday.
In these filings submitted by DTTM Operations LLC, ‘Trump 250’ logos were provided to signal an intention to make Trump’s name become the central spotlight of the historic celebration. They also confirmed submitting a wordmark application that would protect the phrase “Trump 250.”
These logos will appear on a wide range of merchandise, including bumper stickers, tote bags, clothing items, golf balls, coffee cups and others. The second of the trademarks filed for the logos consisted of the word Trump followed by a design of five aircraft with converging contrails. This one too will be equally used on similar items of merchandise, aligning with the 79-year-old U.S. President’s longtime penchant for eponymous branding in his name.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts filed another trademark in Trump’s name. It was regarding an application for a logo titled ‘The Trump Kennedy Center’. With such extensive branding efforts, neither the White House nor the Trump Organization issued a statement on the developments so far.

For those unaware, the Trump Organization has been carrying out efforts to file trademarks in the name of Donald Trump for the longest time. There have been reports about the Trump family issuing trademarks for airport names such as President Donald J. Trump International Airport and other similar variants.
According to several reports, his branding also extends to a handful of federal properties. These include national park passes, Trump Gold Card, banners on buildings, U.S. Institute of Peace renaming and even issuing a $1 coin with President Trump’s face on it.
At the helm of all these activities is the Trump Organization. Initially founded by Trump himself, it is now overseen and run by his two sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. They also manage operations for the company’s mobile service venture Trump Mobile, which had announced its flagship T1 model smartphone last summer. They marketed it at a price of $500 with a $100 down payment. But the phones are yet to be delivered to the customers.
Meanwhile, President Trump’s recent statements on the anticipated 250th Anniversary of America painted a pretty image of the kind of self-publicity he wishes to bring on. It would be apparent that an event could be used to promote himself.
He tagged it as “the most spectacular birthday party the world has ever seen”, assuring a month-long celebration and festivities. President Trump promised to host a unique athletic competition incorporating high-school athletes. Named ‘Patriot Games’, it will be similar to the dystopian Hunger Games where each state and territory will have a male and female representative respectively.

Bragging more about his plans, Trump had added “But I promise there will be no men playing in women’s sports. You’re not going to see that. You’ll see everything but that.” However, despite the massive scale preparations, it is crucial to note that these plans have already faced public scrutiny.
The idea of branding Trump’s name in an event of national importance and significance is not exactly something Americans are looking forward to. In fact, amid the extremely concerning low approval ratings for Trump as a president, many have compared his conduct as inferior to any of his predecessors at the White House.
