    Supreme Court rules California man can't trademark 'Trump too small'

      The Supreme Court has ruled against a man who wants to trademark the suggestive phrase “Trump too small.” The justices on Thursday upheld the government’s decision to deny a trademark to Steve Elster, a California man seeking exclusive use of the phrase on T-shirts and potentially other merchandise.

Government officials said the phrase “Trump too small” could still be used, just not trademarked because Trump had not consented to its use. “Trump too small” T-shirts already can be purchased online. A lower court had ruled that the decision violated Elster's free speech rights.
