Trumps Pub in Houston Gets Word: Donald Doesn’t Like Use of His Name
- Share via
HOUSTON — Donald Trump may never set foot in the small southwest Houston bar but he still doesn’t like its name.
Ron Schaefer, owner of Trumps Pub, received a certified letter from a representative of the billionaire businessman ordering him to “cease and desist” false claims that “Donald Trump is endorsing your business activities.”
The letter from Joseph Silver threatened legal action if Schaefer did not come up with another name within 24 hours of receiving the letter.
He said Trump owns the Donald Trump and Trump trademarks and that the Trump Organization has “people on retainer merely to do this type of work. We do this every day.”
