Trump applies for trademark of his 2020 re-election slogan “Keep America Great”
Donald Trump stopped an interview for some time and asked lawyer to register the phrase “Keep America Great” both with and without an exclamation point.
Washington, Jan 25: 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 -- to 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.
