QuoteDemocratic 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.

It's a great troll move. Trump did the same thing to Joe Biden.

I've seen ads for Steyer and Bloomberg running pretty often here in Florida. These are 2 very rich businessmen; I wonder how much money they're willing to lose in these campaigns

Him and Bloomberg might cause a Ross Perot type of ruckus for the Democratic primary. They've got too much money to burn on this

Sounds very childish. Can they even construct a website that can show a/their candidate as being viable?
With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

Yes it's a great move...if it's 2016. Trump owns the slogan. He doesn't need the website when he sells the hats on his official site. Trump is too established to need multiple sites. This will do nothing and Tom Steyer has as much chance of winning as Eric Swalwell.

But wait, there's more...

QuoteMedia outlets downplayed the fact that 2020 Democratic candidate Tom Steyer's newest domain name purchase, aimed at trolling President Donald Trump's campaign, had been owned by anti-Trump activists since as early as 2016.

The Steyer campaign purchased the domain name "Keep America Great" in an apparent attempt to turn the tables on the Trump campaign, who have previously purchased political opponents' would-be websites. "Keep America Great" is Trump's re-election slogan for 2020.

"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,'" Steyer's campaign claimed in a statement.

Politico and The Hill both reported the news, but downplayed the website's history. Politico only reported that the website was created in 2015. It did not mention that archived versions of the website show it has been run by anti-Trump activists.

The Hill added in a comment from the Trump campaign noting that the website has been an anti-Trump domain for years and that the campaign did not "forget" to purchase it. The outlet didn't back up the comment from Trump's campaign with archived website links, which indicate that anti-Trump activists ran the website for years.

"Keepamericagreat.com" sold anti-Trump gear in 2016, according to an archived version of the website. It includes a section titled "Why We Must Stop Trump!"

"We are just a couple of regular Americans who are fed up with the state of our politics," the 2016 website read. "Join us to spread awareness and start a serious conversation about the future of America, and most importantly, Stop Donald Trump!"

The website continued to be run by anti-Trump activists in the years that followed, according to 2017 and 2018 archived versions of the site.

The outlets instead appeared to focus their reporting on Steyer's troll attempt.

So, all Steyer did was steal someone else's trolling.

He's the radical greenie who hates fossile fuels that became a billionaire off fossile fuels.

Lol, Jokes on you pal. Trump just trolled the left HARD. Trump knew about this in advance. It was owned by anti trumpists for along time, yet trump choose KAG as his slogan anyway! He took their attempted gotcha and turned it into a massive trolling since all the gear they had sold suddenly helped trump. So once again the jokes on the left and trump wins again. #thewinninghurts
