I’ve stopped keeping count. Yet another impeachable offense:
When China awarded President Donald Trump a long-coveted trademark of the “Trump” brand this week, it violated its own regulations. Chinese legal standards prohibit trademarks of the names of foreign leaders.
Trump secured exclusive rights for the use of his name for “building construction services” in China on February 14 after a 10-year legal battle. But he had little success in his quest for a Chinese trademark before he became the Republican nominee last summer.
The apparent preferential treatment for the U.S. president could land Trump in legal trouble back at home.

Well, of course it won’t land him in legal trouble, as the United States government is now among the most corrupt on earth, and the Chinese are merely capitalizing on that fact. Read the whole article, as it is worse that the first few paragraphs might lead you to believe. The case had gone to what American lawyers would call “final judgment”, i.e., all appeals were exhausted. But the Chinese reversed themselves after the election to curry favor with the Donald. He is trading on his office in a way that is truly both unprecedented and unpresidented.
