The one time I'll actually applaud Gibson. They've made some real PR fumbles but they've also got some very deep pockets if they want to take someone to court. We'll see if/how this plays out. *guitar pun*
What’s the difference, he’s just going to do what he wants because the laws of our land are meaningless against him. Thanks, SCOTUS. With fear for our democracy, indeed.
If it makes you feel better we're at a deficit, which is likely to increase under him. My point being, presumably, you can only spend so much money that you don't have before someone stops giving you loans.
Ah ok. Yeah, that aspect of his career is rather baffling. Even he's been quite surprised by it sometimes! Like WTH people?! If he's the genius you suggest he is, he wouldn't be surprised by certain results! (By "you" I'm not referring to you.)
Yes. That is why #TraitorTrash had to turn to Russia to fund his grifts. He can't get a loan in the USA. 6 bankruptcies, cheating charities, grifting students, fraudulent record keeping, tax evasion... The lesson here is only patriotic chumps pay their debts.
I believe the point of the article is that they are infringing on a trademark by replicating the "iconic body style of the Les Paul".. That's not a Gibson guitar. I believe I read an article that says the parts are super cheap and the guitar should probably cost between 1-200 bucks.
This tyrant's entire life was built on being a grifter. He's even scamming the government and built a cult around it. The worst part is that America won't wake up and realize that he's just a CON-artist until his "plans" directly affect them.
I am the proud owner of a 1971 Les Paul and was stunned to see what appeared to be a Les Paul with the Trump design defiling it - glad to know Gibson is telling them to take a hike.
Shocker, they're the perfect dive-bar level of tack! I'm sure certain several examples would have been hung between a poorly taxidermied deer head and a talking fish.
The fact that he was selling guitars is crazy enough, but then to steal IP! There is nothing he does that will turn his “followers” in the MAGA cult. It’s very sad.
Some days, the scripts just write themselves! Thanks to the #SerialGrifter, I have had more than sufficient material for my music copyright law course this semester.
But grown men, a construction worker, a police officer, a cowboy, navy man, and Native American, all come up to him crying… and tell him how great he plays …
Trump played the triangle between Ivana and Marla, then played the triangle between Marla and Melania, then played the triangle between Melania and Stormy, then
Do we want to start placing bets on what item he will try and grift next? Maybe Trump Edition Toilet Seats? I mean at this point his cognitive function is in the shitter so it'd fit.
This is freaking insane. I don't want a president that endorses guitars and bibles and sneakers and baseball hats and so on and so on. I want a fucking president who's going to keep this country afloat
His administration- governors will battle over mass deportations, gov workers they want to sack will probably sue, rewriting constitution to suit Project 25 Agenda etc. He should never have been allowed to run - that needs updating in your constitution-no criminals allowed to run for president
A reason for Nazi propaganda success was inexpensive radios in German homes combined with no oversight equivalent to FCC (US laws). Now consider the reason for FCC protection of US populace. With social media, there's no protection. This is exactly how and why MAGA is winning. NO RULES!
Eliminate cheating, grifting, stealing and inheriting from Trump's life, and he would either be selling used cars in Queens or in prison for rape or murder.
Trump is now grifting guitars. Trump guitars are made in China and are American Gibson knockoffs. No serious guitarist would be seen dead with one of them.
Trump is now flogging Chinese copies of Gibson's Les Paul. Trump’s knock-off guitars have nasty screw-on necks and are made with cheap laminated glued-together wood, things never done by Gibson. Trump is infringing Gibson Designs with a nasty rubbish guitar that belongs in a junk shop
The president of the USA selling bibles, watches, guitars and he is supposed to be a billionaire. It shows that he would do anything for money and he could accept to sell anything as long as it benefits him. But this is who the Americans want to take care of the country !
I would venture to guess that all sales are final. Meaning they'll keep the money, and make more profit now that they don't actually have to make the product...
Yep - tick tock - I'm predicting his presidency will collapse in about six weeks! DJT is in over his head and the deep state isn't gonna hold it together for him this time!

I fkn knew it! First time I saw this photo I said no way Gibson would make a guitar with Dumpty and no matter how you zoomed in, Headstock did not show a brand.
The bands' legal teams must issue the cease & desist letter in order to sue if he continues to infringe. It's $150K per incident for every infringement.

In related news, attorneys for Francis Scott Key have sent a cease and desist letter barring him from playing (live performance or recorded) the Star Spangled Banner at any event at which he is in attendance.
I suspect they are not sold out, but have been (temporarily) blocked due to the cease and desist letter from Gibson. But of course it looks better for his stupid fan base if everything has been sold. For Trump, the loss would be manageable.

Has he finished learning "Polly Wolly Doodle" yet?
I'll leave now...
Trump’s “Les Paul” looks a lot like a Chibson.
Cheap Chinese Gibson knockoffs..............
He's no billionaire.

The man is a con artist who will sign up (no pun) for any grift as long as he can make a buck.
Some "billionaire".
TRUMP STEAKS!!!*

He’s a pice of garbage; not intelligent, only carries weight among the dumbest…why is everyone so afraid of him?!
To sell a ripoff of a popular guitar?
I think I know the answer.
Then again, no self-respecting Christian would buy his grift Bible.
