Tom Steyer buys website for Trump slogan 'Keep America Great'
Washington Examiner ^ | Dec. 2, 2019 | Zachary Halaschak

Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer purchased the website domain of President Trump’s reelection campaign slogan and is using it to troll him.

Steyer, a billionaire philanthropist, purchased and repurposed the URL bearing Trump’s signature catchphrase for 2020, “ Keep America Great.” When users visit the website, they are directed to a bright yellow page featuring the words “TRUMP IS A FRAUD & A FAILURE” in large letters across the screen.

“Donald Trump failed as a businessman,” smaller text reads. “He borrowed billions, and left a trail of bankruptcy and broken promises. He hasn’t changed. Tom Steyer is running for president because unlike other candidates, he can go toe-to-toe with Donald Trump on the economy and expose him for what he is – a fraud and a failure.”

The website, which says it is paid for by Steyer’s campaign at the bottom, also allows visitors to purchase a bumper sticker that declares Trump a “fraud and a failure” for $1.

“Trump’s campaign prides itself on hoarding websites of political opponents, but they forgot to pick up the URL for their signature re-election slogan, ‘Keep America Great,’” the Steyer campaign said in a Monday email.

Trump’s reelection campaign has used the same tactic as Steyer. His campaign purchased the domain name TodosConBiden.com. Joe Biden’s campaign used the phrase, which means “All for Biden” in Spanish, for its outreach to Latino voters. The website now redirects to a page that reads, “Oops, Joe forgot about Latinos. Joe is all talk.” The page also has a link to a “Latinos for Trump” website.

It’s always been MAGA anyway.

KAG isn’t really even a thing.

Loser and a 1/2 wit.

He could only afford “keep America great” and not the full KAGA...

A fool & his money are soon parted. Steyer brands himself as a fool and a rabid leftist with this tripe. He will infuence zero voters. Those that are trump haters will not change, no one else will believe a word.

The more they attack Trump like that, the more it’s going to galvanize people in support of him.

I saw a Steyer TV commercial. It was frickin hilarious.

“Trump’s a fraud”! “Trump’s a failure”!

And on the same day we found out that, predictably, retail records were being smashed already.

Of course hardly anyone else saw it other than night shift workers. The rest of America was *working*, or out Christmas shopping with the extra cash they have because of the Trump tax cuts.

This is what failure actually looks like to closet communists.

Steyer built his multi-billion-dollar fortune by investing and promoting the coal industry,

I’ve been thinking that his new campaign slogan should have been KAGA - Keep America Great Always.

he made a hundred million dollars doing that.

He made a BILLION DOLLARS when he changed, and adopted the “BUY-A-Democrat Green Corruption and kickbacks scam business plan.”

SHE was never supposed to lose... Trump has gotten between him and making MONEY.

On a happy note, Steyer didn't get the copyright, just a money pit meaningless URL.

However, it certainly feels like an OVERSITE.

Hasn’t Trump changed it to Keeping America Great? I may be wrong on that. I can’t wait until the election and the dems are handed their rearends …. it’s going to be even better than 2016.

Registered on June 25th 2015 before KAG(or MAGA really) was a thing. Steyer bought it from someone else unless he can see into the future.

Wow, what a giant misstep by the campaign! I wonder if it’s even trademarked?
