Trump-branded Toilet Paper To Be Sold InMexico, Will AidDeportees: Report
Change Pict
By

Donald Trump will soon be circling the drain.
A Mexican lawyer plans to market Trump-branded toi- let paper in that country and use the proceeds to benefit deportees, the CNN-affiliated site Expansión reported Wednesday.
Mexico City-based attorney Antonio Battaglia said he was spurred to action after Trump's assertions during the presidential campaigns that cer- tain Mexicans are "bad hombres." “I was very annoyed, and I started looking for a way to do something that had an impact, not in a tone of mockery or bad revenge, but in a positive way,” he told the site.
Battaglia has devel- oped a prototype
featuring a plucky little cartoon charac- ter shaped like a toi- let roll (which looks a bit like the animat- ed bill in the classic Schoolhouse Rock short "How a Bill Becomes Law"). The entrepreneur plans to produce the TPbytheendofthe year, distributing it to grocery stores and donating 30% of proceeds to deportee aid groups.
Battaglia, who comes from a family of shoemakers, reg- istered a Trump trademark in the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property in August 2015, reports Expansión. First daughter Ivanka Trump foiled his original idea. "I tried to register a brand of clothing or footwear, because my family is involved in the pro- duction of shoes," he said. "I thought it was a possibility, but the Trump brand
was already regis- tered. Then I had the idea of produc- ing a toilet paper, a product that was ironic and would be on the market for a while."
Trump toilet paper is already available for purchase in the U.S. TP printed with the president making a kissy face and stab- bing the air with his index finger can be found on Amazon. (The latter has an average rating of four stars, although one review states it's "abrasive and doesn't get the job done.")
This development comes as criticism of the young Trump administration mounts. Earlier this month, Republican senator Bob Corker (R-TN) was quoted saying that the White House was "in a downward spi- ral."

In a large, tin-roofed warehouse near Colorado's Rocky Mountains, mem- bers of a team of modern space war- riors spend their days hatching plots to defeat the US military in extrater- restrial combat.
They're called Space Aggressors.
Their job is to act like the enemy dur- ing mock space bat- tles to help US units prepare for a con- flict that may one day extend into the cosmos.

"We play the bad guys," said Captain Christopher Barnes, chief of training for the 26th Space Aggressor Squadron. "Our job is to not only under- stand the different types of threats and potential enemies, but also to be able to portray them and replicate them for the good guys, our Air Force."
The 26th and 527th
Space Aggressor Squadrons are headquartered in a two-story ware- house at Colorado's Schriever Air Force Base, stocked with advanced radio and satellite equipment and nicknamed "the barn." Behind the building, antenna dishes trace the sky.
While attacks by the Space Aggressors are simulated, sen- ior US military and intelligence officials warn the threat in space is very real.
