Trump Organization Owns More Than 3,600 Domain Names, Many of Which Bash Trump (go.com)

With the presidential election just days away, research firm DomainIQ decided to track down the number of domains registered under Donald Trump's organization and Hillary Clinton's campaign. They found that the Trump Organization owns more than 3,600 web addresses, including names of his properties, products and progeny, as well as Trump-bashing names. Some of the domains registered under the Trump Organization include donaldtrumpsucks.com, no2trump.com, trumpmustgo.com and two dozen others that appear to be bashing the billionaire Republican presidential nominee. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's campaign owns 70 domains, but none of them appear to bash Clinton. ABC News reports: There are 274 domains alone featuring the name of Trump's daughter Ivanka. And then there are the ones that seem better suited for the anti-Trump crowd: eight domains ending in "scheme," eight ending in "fraud" and eight ending in "sucks." Cable giant Comcast owns ihatecomcast.com, and Verizon holds verizonsucks.com. Colleges have made a habit of buying up versions of their names ending in .xxx to prevent them from falling into the hands of pornographers, and Major League Baseball has registered the names of various teams ending in .sex. Hillary Clinton's campaign owns 70, according to DomainIQ, though none appear to be the kind of derogatory names Trump has registered. Her family's foundation owns 214 domains, including four ending in .xxx.

    Agreed. If they were a bit more nuanced, they might have have held the domains under a different company, but this is absolutely SOP for anyone with potential haters.

    I think that this is the interview you're looking for:

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/08/politics/trump-on-howard-stern

    In another interview, from September 2004, Stern asks Trump if he can call Ivanka "a piece of ass," to which Trump responds in the affirmative.

    "My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka," says Trump.
    "By the way, your daughter," says Stern.
    "She's beautiful," responds Trump.
    "Can I say this? A piece of ass," Stern responds.
    "Yeah," says Trump.

    Remember Propaganda was recently LEGALIZED under Obama...

    Propaganda has never been illegal.
