An aspiring young coder probably as frustrated with the POTUS as many other of her peers thought she would flex her tech skills and put together a silly site. Her site allowed you to use kitten paws to punch images of President Trump in the face.
Silly, cute and exactly how a 17 year old would think of a politician but clearly Trump didn’t see the funny side and has set his lawyers on the young girl trying to intimidate her into taking the site down.
Three weeks after TrumpScratch.com (don’t goto this URL, it’s changed) launched she received a letter from the President’s legal team… Included all sorts of boasting such as calling Trump a “well-known businessman” and says “As I’m sure you’re aware, the Trump name is internationally known and famous.”
So, this cease and desist annoyed her but she changed the domain to kittenfeed.com and has not responded to the lawyers since…. It’s Trump’s move!

HOW ABOUT BEING THE PRESIDENT?”
I’m sensing a GoFundMe for legal fees may be needed!
