The proposed remedy seems fine. What stuck out to me is the "Trump-Vance" attribution: I haven't seen something like that since the election.

Anything that happens during this presidency (even if started under biden) gets a trump by-line...

And as you're implying, this action began under the "Biden-Harris FTC": https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/06/...

You might want to clarify that the document you're linking to does NOT have the words "Biden-Harris FTC" in it, but simply that the action was taken by that Administration's FTC. In fact, the article doesn't mention Biden or Harris in any capacity.

The salient point is that "Trump-Vance" is being stamped on everything in an effort to build the Admin's brand.

My immediate reaction to the title was "Bezos must not have written a large enough check to the library fund" or whatever else the orange man wants funded. yeah yeah, Bezos isn't in charge blah blah. Someone from the smile logo didn't write a check.

Yeah, these things are silly and I don't even know the audience for them. I remember seeing a lot of local infrastructure projects around with the attribution "President Biden BBB Infrastructure Bill." Does anyone really care? Politics have become really stupid.

Edit: A search reveals that this was apparently controversial at the time: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/21/biden-infrastructur.... The shamelessness of "Trump-Vance" here funny.

It's a very "Thank You Dear Leader" of our current regime. Also look at them wanting huge picture of him in Washington on various buildings much like Mao/Stalin/Ayatollah etc always liked

Didn't you know that this administration is all about feeding lies?
