I don't get. Mr Burns perfected this phrase for years and now Donalnd Trump trying to copyright it. I would have him on the show and have these 2 old geezers fight over it.

Trademark, not copyright.
Pat Riley trademarked the term "three-peat" back around 1989 when the Lakers were going for a third consecutive NBA championship. When the Bulls finally achieved this feat in 1993, Riley made a tidy sum on trademark royalties. :-)

Actually, Vince MacMahon prefected it. When he says it, it just sounds cool
What if Rupert Murdoch says it to Dan, Hank, Nancy, Yeardley, etc., etc.?

Then he'd make as sound a financial decision as Homer did buying all those shares of something called "NewsCorp."

Some years back, they used to run a tv commercial (at least in New York) where George Steinbrenner (Yankee baseball team owner) would say to Billy Martin (ex-Yankee manager), "You're fired!"
It's all very retro. The fashionable phrase is "We're letting you go!" or "You're being outsourced!"
Your freedom is too precious to us.
