What Does Trump Mean By ‘Make America Great Again’?

[IM2]

Did you sleep through the election?

No. Maybe you can explain what he means. Go for it...

You voted and you don't know what Trump meant by MAGA? I knew what Hillary meant when she called me deplorable.

Well, most people know what deplorable means. It's even in the dictionary. But no MAGA...

Lakhota says???? "If you are not leftard? You are deplorable and no friend of mine!"

Lakhota, let me lay some serious truths on ya......the Hildebeast and her husband (in name only) are two of the biggest thieves on the planet and "deep state" all the way. I wouldn't support a leftard even at gunpoint. There is not a single scenario as to where I would EVER wish to curry favor with the likes of you. I prefer friends that have more than a double digit I.Q.....not trying to be snobbish but I can't relate or find common ground with the terminally stupid.

Hope this helps!

There is no proof of this. You sit on your ass brainwashed by Fox news and republican propaganda.

I have no political affiliations and I have as much disdain for the Trotsky-ite neocons as I do the fabian socialist left. I do not participate in the elections of this banana republic that is owned by the International Monetary Fund. If Trump and the white hats can turn this all around? I might become a U.S citizen again....I remain skeptic but somewhat optimistic. I can tell you this one very salient fact....I wouldn't support a "demcrat" even at gunpoint. Any other questions?????

 

[Tuatara]

I like how not one Trump supporter has yet to answer the question. It must either be an empty slogan for the ignorant or there really is a racial message.

Unfair trade agreements like NAFTA, CAFTA and GATT....Trump killed the TPP which would have been the final nail on the coffin of the middle class. He has stopped the land grabbing of the BLM and has reversed some of the off-limits land that they acquired that Barrypuppet signed off on.

Yep, Trump is keeping his promises to make America a friendly place to bring back manufacturing jobs while putting things in place to reverse policies that has made America a bad place to do so and this all goes back to the formation of the Club Of Rome and their "Sustainable Development" plan.....so much that you have no clue about. Trump is a thorn in the side of the globalist POS that started the dismantling of the middle class in the late 1960's when it reached it's apex. I could school you but I doubt that you have the ability to learn.......it's simply easier to be pissed that leftardism has been replaced by national pride....it has to gall the fuck out of those of your ilk.

Oh please school me. First of all it's robotics and automation that are killing the manufacturing jobs for the people. Outsourcing to other countries with lower tax incentives is still happening, Trump didn't stop that.
Advanced manufacturing is booming, it just isn’t producing many jobs
As for cutting the TPP it was us "Leftards" that protested against it first.

But it's not just Mr Trump who opposed the deal. Critics on the left also said it had cost US jobs and said the TPP would pave the way for companies to sue governments that change policy on, say, health and education to favour state-provided services. And it was also seen as intensifying competition between countries' labour forces.

What is the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

If america and other countries did not follow some form of "Sustainable Development" back in 72 (not the 60's) America wouldn't exist right now. Would you like to make a bet that Trump destroys even more of the middle class?

As far as I can tell every Trump supporter is now giving a different time period. Sounds like you are all just talking out of your ass.

 

[Lysistrata]

trump's meaning? FUBAR. He will not stop until he has ruined this country forever.

 

[Jantje_Smit]

I have no idea what he means. I doubt he knows what he means, either. Do you? What hasn't anyone confronted him on what he means? What time period in the past does he want to take us back to?

That's so nice about campaign slogans, no need to explain, everyone can interpret them in their own way..

Agent Orange probably has some vague notions about happier times when nobody asked for tax returns of the rich, pussy grabbing was normal and people loved the 1%

The deplorables think it means making murica white again while the christian Taliban figures it means bringing back the good old days of witch burning, religious indoctrination and no gay wedding cakes

Have you ever wondered what "I'm with her" was supposed to stand for?

 

[Crixus]

Donald Trump’s now ubiquitous slogan, “Make America Great Again!”, is often chanted at rallies, but rarely scrutinized in public discourse. What era in America’s past is Mr. Trump referring to when he says “Again”?

Would Mr. Trump prefer America return to the days of slavery, Jim Crow and labor exploitation in unsafe factories, mines, foundries and plantations? How about the late 19th century when “Robber Barons” monopolized one industry after another? Is he longing for the days when women were second-class citizens and couldn’t vote, until securing this right less than 100 years ago, only to still be paid lower wages than their male colleagues for performing the same jobs and faced with consumer and educational discrimination?

Or is Trump referring to a time when the US was less of a giant empire than it is today?

Or, more optimistically, in the nineteen sixties and early seventies when America had its highest real wages and a large trade surplus? Has anyone heard him say he wanted to return America to that prominence that peaked in the nineteen sixties?

He surely doesn’t want to raise wages for workers. On the campaign trail last year he said wages were too high and has not championed raising the frozen federal minimum wage (at $7.25 an hour) since.

He has spoken often about revising trade agreements to reduce our trade deficit, but he’s not going to take on the opposition of the emigrating giant global corporations to reduce our trade deficit.

Maybe he wants to go back to the America before there was Medicare and Medicaid, before dangerous cars had to be recalled, before food had to be labelled, before unions existed to collectively bargain with large companies in the auto, steel and oil industries?

Does he miss the days when there were segregated restaurants, hotels, trains and buses? What about when people could smoke in your space on airplanes, in college lecture halls, hospital waiting rooms, cafes, offices and just about all public spaces, no matter the presence of children and asthmatics? Or when people with disabilities faced physical exclusion and career discrimination?

More benignly, perhaps Mr. Trump is longing for the days when there was less soil erosion, fewer toxic chemicals in the environment and more family farms. Or when there was far less obesity and diabetes and less aggressive marketing to children of fast food full of fat, sugar and salt. If so, he sure is not going to Make America Great with the corporatists he’s appointed to run the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency or the Department of Agriculture.

Does he want to Make America Great Again by returning to the days when there were fewer people in prisons per capita, fewer non-violent drug offenders serving long sentences, including juveniles, fewer if any private corporate prisons? If so, he is going to have problems with his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. What about when casino gambling was highly restricted and only legal in Nevada? It’s unlikely Mr. Trump would have wanted to prohibit gambling in his Atlantic City Casinos before they failed or went bankrupt. With his flurry of statements and Tweets endorsing sexual harasser and accused pedophile, defeated Senate candidate Roy Moore, Trump, given his boastful aggression toward women, certainly does not want to return to an America when such widely publicized misbehavior would have kept men from even running for office.

This is simple shit....what he really meant / means is "Make America American Again"
It's a no-brainer...when this nation was predominantly inhabited by like minded, hard working, patriotic REAL Americans it was a much, MUCH better place. TA-DA!

A time when a man could get a job, support a family, own a house and car + a boat or RV and take a 2 week vacation once a year.

That's what all working Americans want, what we can't agree on is how we got from then to now, & what we lost or gained along the way.

Examples????? I suspect that you subscribe to the great and grand plan of socialism or outright communism which is the end game of the very elites those like you have been pawns for but claim to be against........

If you can't see how Trump is taking us towards fascism, that's your problem not mine.

Make it as it was in 1840

No safetynet
Most people lived on farms and farmed
Women had no vote
Blacks were slaves
The rich controlled most of the wealth and the industry
Workers had very little rights
America was a third world nation in many ways
Your state was everything

Yep, back to the days when the 2nd Amendment actually referred to the firearms of the time.

It still refers to the fire arms of the time - this time.

Unfair trade agreements like NAFTA, CAFTA and GATT....Trump killed the TPP which would have been the final nail on the coffin of the middle class. He has stopped the land grabbing of the BLM and has reversed some of the off-limits land that they acquired that Barrypuppet signed off on.

Yep, Trump is keeping his promises to make America a friendly place to bring back manufacturing jobs while putting things in place to reverse policies that has made America a bad place to do so and this all goes back to the formation of the Club Of Rome and their "Sustainable Development" plan.....so much that you have no clue about. Trump is a thorn in the side of the globalist POS that started the dismantling of the middle class in the late 1960's when it reached it's apex. I could school you but I doubt that you have the ability to learn.......it's simply easier to be pissed that leftardism has been replaced by national pride....it has to gall the fuck out of those of your ilk.

Trump is simply fucking this country up.

How, by cutting your goverment check?
