The recent use of the term "basket of deplorables" by China's state-run Global Times has spurred former unsuccessful presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to consider suing for "theft of intellectual property. I coined that phrase to describe the lowlifes who supported my opponent in the 2016 election. It is outrageous that it would be re-used without paying me royalties."
Observers have expressed skepticism that any prospective lawsuit could be successful. CNN's Chris Cuomo cited China's "blatant disregard for intellectual property rights as one indicator of the improbable odds for getting a reasonable response on Sec. Clinton's complaint. I also can't help wondering if a Regime willing to use violence to suppress pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong now and in Tiananmen Square 30 years ago would feel any compunction to honor her property rights."
In related news, Democratic presidential candidate former Vice-President Joe Biden has filed paperwork to copyright the phrase "dregs of society" that he recently used to slander the 63 million voters who elected Donald Trump president in 2016. A spokesman for his campaign boasted that "this should warn off any imitators among the dwarfs who are contesting Joe's right to continue the Obama legacy and provide a route to cash compensation should they try to appropriate his terminology."
