And also defacto TM owners do enforce rights so there are also legitimate non-legally required reasons to do so.

The key part of my statement is "non-infringers." Yes, you can lose your trademark if you don't go after people who infringe it. But you don't have to go after people who aren't infringing, as is the case here.

The OP said "I just took the old landing page down".

We don't know what was on that landing page do we? There could have been something that was infringing in some way.

For the record I happen to have a domain name that I registered that has the word "Trump" in it and is a .com. And I have never been contacted by Trump's legal team. This doesn't prove my point however I thought I would point it out as perhaps relevant.

OP says it had nothing to do with Donald. They might be lying, but at that point we have nothing to discuss at all.

But there is no trademark infringement here simply from the use of the domain "trumpd". Maybe if it was a real estate site and the logo was in gold letters.

Trump owns the trademark trump for online entertainment. So I would say there is a trademark infringement going on. There is an issue with geography, but considering the name was held in there us that might not be an issue
