The Trump administration launched its own version of the Drudge Report on Wednesday under the name, “The White House Wire.”

“The White House has its own wire now. Read what we’re reading,” announced the White House in a social media post, directing followers to a Drudge Report-style page with headlines and links to various news outlets, including Breitbart, Fox News, the Daily Caller, the New York Post, the Washington Times, the Washington Examiner, Newsweek, Axios, The Guardian, and The Hill.



The Drudge Report – a former ally-turned-critic of President Donald Trump – responded to the White House Wire’s launch with its own series of headlines.


“IT TAKES AN ENTIRE WEST WING TO COMPETE WITH DRUDGE…” wrote the Drudge Report. “DEVELOPING: TRUMP LAUNCHING HIS OWN DRUDGE REPORT… USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS!”

The Trump name is copy writed. The Drudge Report should have to pay a fee or ask for permission every time it uses Trump's name

This is all according to plan, all the loyalists occupy the high ground, now it's time to get to work on the commoners.

I looked at it. Fox News has some competition. I really like the article title:

Vance reveals 'empowering' aspects of Trump's leadership that enables 'trust' and squashes 'turf battles'​

Oh wait I clicked it and it IS a Fox article.

Hyatt is a trademarked company name.

Hyatt is a trademarked company name.

I know. It’s a name. And the trademark means that names can be given official protection from use by others.

The Trump brand name is protected. The name Trump is not protected. One can write about Trump. One cannot name a university Trump University without permission (potentially).
