... The requests cover mobile phones, cases, battery chargers and wireless telephone services, as well as potentially retail stores. The applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office were filed on Thursday, according to a public database.

A spokesperson for the Trump Organization didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

"While a trademark filing doesn't guarantee a product launch, the specificity of the applications points to serious consideration," Josh Gerben, a trademark attorney and founder of Gerben IP law firm, wrote in a blog post on Friday.

The filings suggest plans could be in the works for a Trump-branded mobile phone or service to compete with Verizon Communications Inc., AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile US Inc., Gerben wrote.

"It would mark a significant expansion for Trump's private business, which has historically focused on real estate, hospitality, and branded merchandise," he said. ...

And, knowing Pres Trump's history of paying people (or more likely, not paying people) who work for him, Mr Reynolds may be wise to demand payment up front.

Plans will start at as low as $1M per month and marketing will strangely be geared towards Russian oligarchs and Saudi royalty.

And Trumpy's American Truth Mobile (it will have to America in the name), I am certain, will have the most excellent security features.

Provided by the KGB.
