You're Fired: Donald Trump wants to trademark the catch phrase "You're Fired" for clothing, casino services, games and "playthings" (not sure if that refers to The Donald's bevy) according to documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office uncovered by The Smoking Gun:
Along with peddling overpriced apartments, Trump runs some spectacularly underperforming Atlantic City gambling joints. Trump's two trademark applications...were made after the January 8 debut of "The Apprentice," the NBC hit that has thrust Trump (and the alleged billionaire's swirling hairdo) back onto the front pages. We're waiting to see if Trump tries to patent the signature hand motion he uses to dispatch "Apprentice" contestants. On a related note, a check of trademark records shows that the firm (sic) "You're Outsourced" is still available for the taking.
You can read more about this story in the news. It should be really interesting when Trump tries to tell these folks, "You're Fired."
