The cards are clearly parody (fair use), assuming they would even infringe copyright at all. I'm not sure what Nintendo is supposed to do, but I assume if they do anything at all, it would result in more tariffs (bad for their revenue) anyway.

It's brand-damaging for the government to, for example, represent sexual predators of underage people (speaking here of accusations against Nery Garcia Linares, not the U.S. President) represented as Pokémon, especially with children as Pokémon's primary audience. Nintendo has successfully won several cases in similar scenarios by invoking brand tarnishment.

Can you link to the most similar of those cases? I would assume that most parody would risk tarnishing a brand.

You're right, but Nintendo has a reputation for taking legal action against "clearly" fair use, including fan made stuff posted on social media.

This combined with WB having Trump's Dark Knight video pulled is probably why people bring it up...
