Donald Trump is, once again, saying he’s very serious about running for president and Democrats have a simple response: everything is awesome.

In response to Trump’s statement on Wednesday that he’s planning on forming a presidential exploratory committee, DNC National Press Secretary Holly Shulman released a short statement that said “everything is awesome” with a link to the song in The Lego Movie:

Trump has repeatedly toyed with running for president before bowing out. He strongly floated running for president in 2012 as a Republican candidate before opting against it. He also dipped his toe into running in 2000, as an Independent candidate. Bloomberg Politics noted that in 2014, Trump also flirted with a possible gubernatorial run. That lasted three months before Trump opted against it.
