I'm not trying to defend Trump in any way, but seeing the crap he's trying to sell to dumb people, the last thing I think is "that sure looks like a prestige Les Paul"
I've heard it's not Trump himself selling them just one of his dickriders with his backing.
I normally don't side with Gibson over their stupid copyright claims for pretty generic shapes. But if they can knock some Trumpster down a peg I'll back them this time.
"I don't side with obvious frivolous copyright claims against people unless it's against somebody I don't like"
You can do better
Ok, so let's say they begin to side with Gibson more frequently in their copyright claims.
