Trump Searches for a New Slogan as He Abandons ‘Keep America Great’ and the Internet Has Some Suggestions

By

The coronavirus pandemic, racially-charged riots, and escalating unemployment rates coupled with former Vice President Joe Biden’s popularity in recent polls have left President Donald Trump scrambling to find a new slogan to revitalize his campaign.

As the pandemic continues it’s deadly march, Trump has trotted out slogans like “Transition to Greatness,” claiming the situation would improve during the summer only to worsen once again in the fall and winter, Mail Online reports.

But there’s a good chance that “greatness” won’t happen. Polls are showing that at least two-thirds of Americans believe the country is on the ‘wrong track’ and Biden is clobbering him by a wide margin according to a CNN/ORC poll released Monday. That poll showed him trailing Biden 41 to 55 in a week marred by violence and unrest and high unemployment rates.

While Trump still uses his signature “Make America Great Again,” slogan, his campaign store relies heavily on his “Keep America Great” slogan. He trotted that one out after consulting with his advisers and after polling campaign rallies prior to the outbreak. Even so, that last remark is not likely to last, and his one-hit-wonder “sleepy Joe” will probably also used less often.

And I’m guessing that’s due to Biden’s popularity in the polls, where he decidedly doesn’t seem “sleepy.”

But it’s going to be up to Trump as to when and where that new slogan and new campaign ads appear.

“When the president decides, there will be a new slogan, and there will be new ads,” one campaign advisor told The Washington Post. 

As expected, Trump is not happy over the poll results and is blaming the “lamestream media,” in a Twitter rant.

“The Lamestream Media refuses to talk about our Country’s record-setting jobs numbers, which are indicating GREATNESS, and soon!” he raged on Twitter.

Trump used the “transition” motto while visiting a medical products factory in Maine (you know, the factory that had to destroy all of the medical swabs produced during Trump’s visit because he refused to wear a mask. Yeah, that one.)

“I call it “transition to greatness,” but it’s coming a little earlier than I thought, and that’s okay,” he said.

By the time President Barack Obama left office, the country enjoyed a net gain of 11.6 million new jobs. Under Trump, we have a stagnant economy, with nearly 21 million Americans unemployed and at least another two million who have permanently lost their jobs.

What’s so “great” about that?

George Conway pointed out Trump’s search for a new slogan on Twitter, and asked Twitter for some ideas.

The results were HYSTERICAL:
