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.

    @Sean O’Dhubhghaill: you are right, amazing performance. You kind of wonder why they couldnt pull it out for the other games though. Still it will give them great confidence going to the playoffs.

    @S Suilleabhain: What has that got to do with his COYGIG comment and this article? Was a comment of his deleted from this page?

    @Setanta O’Toole: For the same reason probably that the Ireland’s men’s team would be lucky to win any match if they were in the same group as the 2nd, 3rd and 6th raned teams in the world i.e. France, Belguim and Portugal.

    @Injustice Cop: he was odious to me & nasty and is routinely. I’ll say what I like and dont regard him as anything like a decent Irishman

    To be fair. This was a great win against a top women’s team. Maybe now they realise that they are better then they think and give them a boost for the next time. Well done ladies.

    @ S Suilleabhain: You are pathetic. On an article concerning a great victory for our Women’s National Team you somehow have to bring completely unrelated politics into. How does it feel to have failed so miserable in life? There ar3 people all around you, from every part of the country have successfully made a decent life for themselves under the same circumstances you had to live under. You are a bitter failure. The soo wrong you take responsibility for your life the sooner things will improve for you. As long as you bitterly whinge and moan you will always be a miserable failure. Wise up.
