What do you think "Make America Great Again" means?

Checkerboard Strangler said:
Never attended a police officer's funeral?

You forgot about this one? (FIVE OFFICERS)

You think you can get away with just making up crap, don't you?
You've gotten away with it your whole life, haven't you?

And "PLAYING GOLF" ...are you actually serious?
In less than eight months, Trump has played more golf, at TAXPAYER EXPENSE on his OWN COURSES, then Obama played in his entire eight years.

You just get away with making crap up, don't you?

He only wanted more gun control and never went to the funerals HIMSELF
 
Restore America's stature, its comparative advantage, its relative strength (both economic and military) vis-a-vis the rest of the world, improve quality of life for Americans, their prospects and opportunities, and their overall sense of optimism about the future.

America came out of the Cold War at the end of the Reagan-Bush administrations as the lone triumphant superpower. The Clinton administration squandered those advantages, so did Bush Jr, so did Obama. Obama did inherit a mess from Bush Jr, but failed miserably to provide "hope and change" for the better, instead choosing to help the rest of the world as opposed to the American electorate. Trump is righting the wrongs, and restoring American power in service of the American people - not Europe, Africa, or whoever else imagines America should be carrying water for them.

It means nothing. It's an empty, cosmetic bit of pablum promoted by a completely insincere con man to sucker fools and rubes.

And it's clearly working.

Yeah, it fooled businesses into creating millions of new jobs, millions of workers getting raises, bonuses and improved benefits. Not to mention the millions of retirement accounts adding trillions of dollars of value. Those fools, don't they KNOW Trump Tweets?
 
vegas giants said:
Still incredibly vague. Very hard to measure when you have achieved your goal with any of that. Be specific. How EXACTLY will you know america is great again?


And exactly when was it great before? The year will be fine

"Great" isn't a specific number. And the point isn't to get THERE wherever there is. It's a goal to work towards continuously.

Totally irrelevant. I repeat. If you want to unite the country, work to elect a president who is up to the task of uniting it. Don't ask me to join you in supporting an immoral, venal, lying, self-absorbed, unworthy specimen of a human male.

You don't want a wicked venal, lying, self-absorbed, unworthy specimen of a human male for president? What if Hitlary decides not to get a sex change, would that make her OK by you??

Yawn. That was already happening before Trump took office, which means America was already great, which means the slogan is exactly what I said it was.

Think, but think harder.

Again, you are making things up out of thin air.
Not to mention, why does Trump show up in person? Because it's about HIM.
The very worst thing ANY president can do is show up and cause a huge distraction.
You make things up because for you, your "alternative facts" are based on your belief.

But worst of all, this is not even a referendum on Obama. He is not the President and he can never BE the President again.
Someone else will be the President, and if not Trump, it will not BE Obama, so in the end, all your prattling is itself a deflection and a distraction from the thrust of the thread itself, which asks, "what do you think makes America great again?"

The answer isn't Obama no matter what because that's a past President, and making America great AGAIN refers to the FUTURE.
So, why don't you create a thread about Obama, if you want to cast stones at Obama?

If you're going to make threads about what people think makes America great again, talk about that.
And stop making crap up out of thin air, stop trying to pass off lies as "alternative facts".

Imo. It means make America an economic powerhouse again, as well as bring back jobs. I also believe it means that we should all be united, not by race, but as Americans. Respect the president and fix our society. Prioritizing politeness, and discussion instead of name-calling. This is only my interpretation.

MAGA means reversing the destruction Leftist have created.

It's a cute saying intended to flimflam the marks. Before he was president, he had to pay fines when he was caught running a scam:

$25 million settlement finalized in Trump University lawsuit

Now it's all nice and legal:

Trump will personally save up to $15m under tax bill, analysis finds

Enjoy watching your children pay for this massive tax cut for Trump and his buddies. I'm sure they'll thank you.

I assume you're talking about Hilary. It may come as a surprise to you, but she's not president.

When you Trumpets can't offer a real argument, you bring up Hilary. Thanks for conceding that you got nothin.

Trump can't show up at funerals because nobody wants him.

Why do you think he won? Because people are tired of politically correct bullcrap, tired of the Democrats lying to minorities, and how Social Justice has ruined society (almost).

Wait - so you're against SJW but defend the President who called for people to get fired for protesting in a way he didn't like? You realize that's SJW of a different kind, the other side of the same coin, right?

The country was divided starting with Obama. He never attended a single police officer's funeral or gave much respect at all. And while one of our American journalists was beheaded by ISIS, Obama was playing golf. Great president right.

You don't do yourself a favor by lying or by not caring about the facts:
e.g. https://www.npr.org/2016/07/12/4857...uneral-obama-calls-for-healing-and-gun-reform and
https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-...ays-barack-obama-has-given-no-special-recogn/ and

It's also a mystery how you can blame Obama for being on the golf course when an event happened. No President has spent more time on vacation or playing golf than Trump.

I never said Trump was the greatest we've had. But since he is the president, we should at least hope he'll do some good.

I agree, but you're not giving the same courtesy you demand we give Trump to Obama.

Oh, this one is easy! Make America Great Again means getting rid of ol' Mushroom Cap Donald.

What do you think "Make America Great Again" means?
Click to expand...

First of all America is THE Greatest Nation on Earth. It has the most robust economy by far and the Exchange Currency of the world, the Strongest Military on Earth.

Since "Make America Great Again" is a tRump slogan by his actions it apparently means:

Bigotry
Pissing off our Allies
Kissing our enemies ass
Pushing other world leaders around and denigrating them both physically and verbally
Separating children from their parents.
Screaming shouting matches in the Oval office
Criticizing our national institutions and traditions for the whole world to see
Talking to American citizens in short clipped and inane phrases, repeatedly, like you would a little child
Throwing the whole executive branch of our government into disarray and doing your best to do the same to all other branches
Divisive rhetoric that is dividing our Nation
In short he's misspelled Great and should be using Grate because that's what he's doing Making America Grate on the nerves of everyone in the world every chance he gets. And he needs to drop the "Again", because we've never done ANYTHING like this in our history before. We've gone from the preeminent leader of the world to Class Clown and that was his first 100 days accomplishment; it's been down hill from there.

MAG means everything George Washington hoped the Presidency would never be and the execution everything he loathed in qualities of men and hoped would never be for the Office of President of The United States.

Donald J. Trump "Making America Grate" … every chance he gets.

"Who Knew" …

… MOST AmeriCANs.
