So Is Trump Trying to Plagiarize Roosevelt?

When I saw this, I thought it was a joke (and I'm sure there are plenty of joke-products like it). But here's what Snopes found out from Exceptional Products,
"In 1902 the teddy bear was born and named after President Teddy Roosevelt. When President Donald Trump was elected to office as the first non-politician president, I felt it was time to name an American fearless grizzly bear after our new Commander in Chief. I designed the Trumpy Bear in a recognizable image of our current president.
"This iconic bear should be viewed as the symbol that anyone can run for president of this great country of ours. The weight of the responsibilities that come with the presidency can be a burden that I, for one, could never endure.
"And no, this is not a joke. I want it to be perfectly clear that the men who served in our military spoke from their hearts in the Trumpy Bear commercial. Any vilification of a veteran should never be tolerated."
Have you heard anything about this?
"The fearless, super-plush American grizzly" (As seen on TV.)

Plagiarize?
Capitalize, copy, duplicate or reinvent, yes. Just like every other teddy bear sold.
But how do you figure he plagiarized Roosevelt?
This was on the market 4 years ago. How have you not heard about it until now?

I probably ignored it as a joke until my cousin posted it on Facebook.
(I hear that his Presidential campaign was originally a joke too ... actually, it was a joke OBAMA told at the press-luncheon one year 
)

I think he said that at the same luncheon where he said Trump would never see a GDP of more than 1.5%.
