Businesses that share Trump name get swept up in the circus
Just ask the people at Trump Tobacco in California, Trump Travel in New York, Trump Memorials in Nebraska and Trump Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Kansas.
[...] that hasn't stopped them from getting swept up in the campaign and Trump's frequent firestorms over immigrants, women, abortion or nuclear war.
In Decatur, Illinois, Dennis Trump's printing company — Trump Direct — opened 37 years ago.
[...] it's been filling regional direct-mail needs, from bills and tax forms to political fliers.
"People who don't know us are saying we're rich, and ask me if I'm Donald Trump's relative, the 'likes' on our company Facebook are up, and we get the strangest messages," says the Illinois businessman.
Trump has long been known for vigorously protecting the use of his name, which he licensed for use on other developers' building projects and to market products including clothing, furniture, vodka and even steaks.
