• Why aren’t they automatically looking for business links between Slovenian domain vendors and the First Family? Melania is Slovenian after all and it would be such a misstep if not even her extended family got to profit from this one.

      Now there’s a thought. Lemmy got any real journalists ready for a story?

  • lol there isn’t “unprecedented demand,” it’s a $15/year charge for these big companies and they buy every domain they can think of, what’s one more?

    What’s the best TLD for rapists and nazis?

      Ive heard that all of the big domains have been bought up months ago, so another insider trading scheme from Trump.

    • ISO standardized abbreviations are mandatory for country-domains.

      Even Trump cannot change “.us” into “.tr” :-) (but please don’t tell him anyway)

        No, but he could definitely pull some strings to get IANA to add .trump as a new gTLD (honestly, I’m surprised it hasn’t already happened - I had to check) and the government has no obligation to continue using .us or .gov as far as I know.

          Doesn’t need to pull any strings. You can buy almost any new gTLD you want, for the rich the price is chump change.

              I don’t think that’s true any more. It might have been a few years ago, but he’s legalized bribery with his shitcoins etc since then.
