Donald Trump will participate in a reddit AMA on Wednesday during the Democratic National Convention, his campaign announced on Monday.

The Republican party’s nominee for president will take part in the popular online Q&A session starting at 6:30 pm ET.

On the Trump subreddit, which has over 180,000 subscribers, the moderators posted, “Get your questions ready, put on your MAGA hats, and bring your high-energy — it’s going to be TREMENDOUS!” The moderators also refer to Trump as “our God Emperor” and “the Nimble Navigator.”

MAGA stands for “Make America Great Again,” Trump’s campaign slogan.

The Democratic National Convention will be in full swing by then, with President Barack Obama — who himself submitted to an AMA back in 2012 — and Vice President Joe Biden scheduled to speak that night.

Trump formally won the GOP nomination for President after a roll call vote Tuesday at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio. The vote formally gave him the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

Trump’s children, led by Donald Trump, Jr., announced the votes, saying, “It’s my honor to be able to throw Donald Trump over the top in the delegate count tonight, with 89 delegates … Congratulations, dad, we love you.”

Other than that, there was little drama to the procedure, a contrast to the proceedings that kicked off the convention on Monday, when Trump critics on the floor attempted to force a roll call vote on the party’s proposed rules. The floor fight was eventually settled, with pro-Trump delegates winning the battle.
