President-elect Donald Trump already has a campaign slogan for the 2020 presidential race, according to a Wednesday report from The Washington Post.

Trump coined the slogan “Keep America Great!” during an interview he gave with WaPo Tuesday, and called a lawyer during the interview to ensure that the next slogan was trademarked as soon as possible.

“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 to his lawyer. “Got it,” the lawyer responded.

Trump later asserted that he wanted to ensure this slogan was the focal point of his next campaign. “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 used the slogan “Make America Great Again” during the course of his 2016 presidential run, and the trademarked slogan appeared on official campaign hats that Trump wore at every campaign rally.
