They do realize that if the Left was making Obama Bears, the Right would have blown a gasket...but for Trump, a full-blown cult of personality is perfectly fine.

(34,087 posts)In general, if you are using the name or image or likeness of a person for commercial purposes you need their permission. Their status as a public person matters for defamation, but not for right of persona/publicity claims. Since these claims are state claims, the details vary from state to state - they may require residency in the state, they sometimes die with the person - but can sometimes be asserted by heirs. Sometimes the right included voice and signature - sometimes not. Commercial use frequently included use by a charity, sometimes not.

Answer:
Regular rain will ruin Trumpy. Golden showers are totally fine.

Can an eagle soar openly over america? That answer is Yes. But trumpy bear probably won't withstand the rain very well, just like the actual president.
