Nearly two years after its release, Donald Trump is finally ready to sue Mac Miller over "Donald Trump"

Watching Donald Trump’s reaction to Mac Miller’s song named after him has been absolutely fascinating. But after endorsing the song way back in August of 2011 and calling Mac “the new Eminem,” Trump’s changed his tune completely. Unsurprisingly, it’s about money.
He took to Twitter last night to voice his frustrations:
Little @macmiller, you illegally used my name for your song “Donald Trump” which now has over 75 million hits.

Little @macmiller, I want the money not the plaque you gave me!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 31, 2013
Little @macmiller, I’m now going to teach you a big boy lesson about lawsuits and finance. You ungrateful dog!

See ungrateful Little @macmiller’s statement to me a year ago— youtu.be/-4imKIOV0Q8?t=… – he was kissing my ass!

Little @macmiller—I have more hair than you do and there’s a slight age difference.

uh… burn?
Trump obviously knows what he’s doing here. The song’s been out for almost two years (February 8) and relighting this fire, publicly, is enough to kick it back into the public sphere. That means more money for Mac, which means more money for Trump if he follows through on this suit. And he might have a case: piece of shit as he may be, Donald’s probably smart enough to prove his name is his brand.
(Oh, and Mac? He hasn’t commented on it yet. Apparently he’s too busy looking for weed in Austria.)
