It doesn't seem like Trump and/or associates are trying to profit off of it. At least monetarily. Does profit in this instance implicitly refer to money? Or could the argument be used that his campaign for Presidency is profiting even though there are no monetary demands or gains being realized at the expense of Jeb Bush? Thanks for pointing that out. It is interesting. I need to stock up on more popcorn!

Lawyer here

See, this is why I hate other lawyers. If you have something to say, make your argument and let it stand on its own merits instead of appealing to authority.

Secondly, the ACPA only applies to trademarks and a "bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill (of said trademark)." Jeb Bush has not trademarked his own name. Strike one. Donald Trump is obviously not using Jeb's name to profit, he's using it to mock Jeb, which is perfectly legitimate. Strike two. The First Amendment may override certain applications of the ACPA. Strike three, Jeb! is outta here!!!
