    I like how he got donaldtrumpsucks.com.

    I hope he is not going to try to enforce trademark rights to "trumpeteers".

    Well after reading his article, I'd say he is pretty wise and strategic. After all, he is a businessman. That's one way to avoid bad publicity or scandal from going up on the internet. That's making sure you have control of your world.

    I took a look at the list and some of those domain names are either businesses he owns or thinking of owning.

    And if he is registering even his grandchildren names, wow! That's really looking to the future.

    I think what he did is cool.

    Just voicing my opinion.

    This doesn't look like a business move, but more like " I do this because I can". My thought was : there's some money wasted .
