Trump and the GOP Steal Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Slogan to Use For 2020 Election
The GOP released a graphic Monday that mirrors a tagline from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
“We’re only getting stronger together,” the graphic says superimposed over a picture of Donald Trump.
Trump made the statement during a rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday night. The tweet was sent during the rally.
The phrase “Stronger Together” was also the slogan of Clinton’s 2016 candidacy.

Clinton and her running-mate Sen. Tim Kaine wrote a book during the campaign with that same name.
Republican National Committee spokesperson Steve Guest told The Hill that “when you lose your campaign, you lose your monopoly on any slogans.”
“As we saw at his packed rally, President Trump continues to unite the American people behind his pro-border security agenda,” he said.
Hillary Clinton also responded to the theft of her slogan, and her response was perfect:
Now copy my plan on health care, a fairer tax system, and voting rights. https://t.co/AGyA6ZHl1R https://t.co/OuFklznJgf

Do you fuckers know that "Stronger Together" was Hillary's slogan? Or is plagiarism a GOP-wide phenomenon and not limited to Melania? pic.twitter.com/7YK8MyOHYg

NOPE! No, you can’t have our slogan. #StrongerTogether belongs to @HillaryClinton & the 65+ million Americans that supported her in 2016. The Stronger Together banner belongs to @TheDemocrats not the GOP. And you know what? We are #StillStrongerTogether even with Trump as POTUS. https://t.co/nIaVqWeWQT
