Donald Trump plans to update his ubiquitous campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” when he seeks reelection in 2020, he says, to “Keep America Great!”

“‘Keep America Great,’ exclamation point,” the president-elect told The Washington Post in an interview published Wednesday, during which he also requested that his lawyer trademark and register the phrase, with and without the punctuation mark.


Trump insisted to the Post that the first few years of his presidency will deliver the promised outcome of “making America great,” hence the tweak in wording.

“I never thought I’d be giving [you] my expression for four years [from now],” he said. “But I am so confident that we are going to be, it is going to be so amazing. It’s the only reason I give it to you. If I was, like, ambiguous about it, if I wasn’t sure about what is going to happen — the country is going to be great.”

Trump said he came up with his 2016 campaign’s slogan himself and trademarked it in 2015. His most fervent supporters loved the slogan, shouting it at rallies and wearing red hats that proudly showcased the phrase.
