The Supreme Court unanimously ruled against a California man seeking to trademark the phrase "Trump too small" for use on t-shirts and other merchandise. The man, Steve Elster, argued that denying the trademark violated his free speech rights. The Justice Department supported denying the trademark because it referenced Donald Trump without his consent. The phrase "Trump is too small" can still be used commercially, not exclusively trademarked. The phrase refers to an exchange between Trump and Marco Rubio during the 2016 presidential campaign about the size of Trump's hands.
