With the presidential election in full swing, many of you may have heard the story that covered headlines in December regarding JebBush.com redirecting to DonaldTrump.com. If you didn’t catch the story, here’s a quick overview:
The Jeb Bush presidential campaign was using the domain Jeb2016.com as their primary domain. One would think that with your name literally on the line for president, somebody in Jeb’s campaign team would have though, “Hey, maybe we should register JebBush.com”. You would have thought wrong. It’s well known that Donald Trump likes to make a splash so what did he do? He went out and found the domain, registered it, and now when somebody enters JebBush.com, it redirects the visitor to DonaldTrump.com.
