”Trump waited until after he left office to disclose trademarks he owns in China and Russia”
“Until this year, the former US president's ethics forms didn't disclose his trademarks in foreign countries, which can provide him revenue and are issued and can be revoked by foreign governments. He didn't disclose them at all while in office”
“The list of countries where the former president owns trademarks includes China, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Belarus, and other countries heavily sanctioned by the United States, as Forbes previously reported.”
“The 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner — who frequently complains China is "ripping us off" — disclosed more trademarks in China than in any other country by far. In his latest disclosure, he said he has 114 trademarks in the country. The runner-up is the United States, with 57”
“In China, Trump had 77 trademarks registered before he became president, many of which were renewed during his four-year term. Also during his presidency, China granted several new trademarks linked to corporate entities owned by Trump and more than a dozen more to his daughter Ivanka Trump”
“Richard Painter, the White House's chief ethics lawyer during part of the George W. Bush administration, told Insider that the forms may not even capture all of the trademarks Trump owns. Even more, he said, may be owned by LLCs, the assets of which don't need to be disclosed in detail.”

Certainly not ironic that none of this appeared up until now. Obvious Trump is aware other legal entities are looking into his mysterious finances, the “I’m being audited” bullshit doesn’t fly anymore, and, he surely knows by now the MAGA militia cult could care less what Trump did even if it contradicts everything they worship him for
Now do you think Comer and Jordan will be “investigating” these previous unknown business arrangements? Will Murdoch or his prime time pimps bring it up in their “news?”
