Trump trademarks 2020 campaign slogan: 'Keep America Great'

It covers usage from bumper stickers to clothing to fundraising.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP is clearly confident he’ll achieve his campaign promise to “Make America Great Again”.

Never straying far from his business roots, Trump has already submitted an application to trademark the slogan he plans to use for his 2020 re-election run: “Keep America Great.”

Records from the United States Patent and Trademark Office show that the president applied on Wednesday, before he was even sworn into office, o trademark the phrase, both with and without an exclamation point.

It covers usage from bumper stickers to clothing to fundraising.

The applicant was New York-based Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. The applications are pending, awaiting review by the trademark office.

Trump told The Washington Post last week that he had chosen “Keep America Great!” as his re-election slogan.

According to the newspaper’s report, he shouted for a lawyer in the middle of the interview.

A lawyer came within two minutes, and was instructed to file a trademark for the phrase, the paper said. Trump then resumed the interview.

Trump told the Post that he came up with his “Make America Great Again!” campaign slogan on 7 November , 2012, the day after Republican Mitt Romney lost to Democrat Barack Obama.

    This looks like a special forces job. I wonder was it UK/US/France.
    Hopefully Syria can defeat these so called rebels who are nothig more than terrorists,armed thugs and foreign jihadist fanatics.
    Shame on the President of US for stating that the Syrian government is a dictatorship murdering its own people. The US cannot just decided to pick and choose when it is against a dictatorship whenever it suits its needs.
    The US is either against dictatorships and fine it can then criticise or it is for/supports them. At the moment it supports dictatorships in Saudi Arabia/Bahrain/Honduras and it has not said one word about them.
    The people doing the major killing in Syria are the armed terrorists also known as the ‘rebels’.

    Really that’s not the way I see it they were peaceful demonstrations until Assad ordered the crackdown which saw hundreds of UNARMED civilians murdered.
    The majority of Syrians are now opposed to Assad and this will only end one way Assad WILL go one way or the other as the ordinary citizen has lost all faith and respect in him and his regime.

    A rebel sniper killed an Iranian reporter during a live air report. Absolutely shocking. Reports of rebels killing journalists indiscriminately. http://rt.com/news/press-correspondent-killed-syria-007/

    Save the Children recently published testimonies of children who had been tortured and used as human shields by both sides.
