President-elect Donald Trump has not even been sworn into office yet, but he already has an optimistic campaign slogan for his 2020 re-election. The reveal came mid-interview with The Washington Post's Karen Tumulty:
Halfway through his interview with The Washington Post, Trump shared a bit of news: He already has decided on his slogan for a reelection bid in 2020."Are you ready?" he said. "'Keep America Great,' exclamation point.""Get me my lawyer!" the president-elect shouted.Two minutes later, one arrived."Will you trademark and register, if you would, if you like it — I think I like it, right? Do this: 'Keep America Great,' with an exclamation point. With and without an exclamation. 'Keep America Great,'" Trump said."Got it," the lawyer replied. [The Washington Post]
