It wasn't Obama. It was the International Atomic Energy Association, the P5+1, and the European Union and led by the Italian diplomat Federica Mogherini.Who in their right mind would make appeasement with a terrorist state by sending $1.5 B in cash, who are desperate for money to create terror throughout the world?
There were other choices that Obama ignored.
Those economic indicators all took off under Obama and merely continued their trajectory under trump:The nation's economic wellbeing isn't rated only by the GDP.
Under Trump, all other economic indicators took off--unemployment further declined, black and Hispanic unemployment reached historic lows, the stock market continued upwards, interest rates on investments increased, home sales took off, etc. etc.
What about people who were unable then to live that dream? Why should they want to go back?

How many times are Republicans going to bear false witness about this?

As long as they were white, male and above a certain wealth threshold.
I disagree. Plenty of people made a good living regardless of sex or color. They worked for it just like the rest of us.
So much ado from the critics because the president tried to 'sweet talk' Kim. That's all he did. And he hoped that it would lead to North Korea's being willing to lower the threat of war.
Now compare that with Obama straightaway giving the Mullahs in Iran a 150 billion dollar bribe to please slow down your development of an nuclear bomb. Or Obama's sell-out to Cuba which never even got Cuba to so much as pretend that changes would follow.
The comparison is no comparison at all.
Fair enough. What MAGA means to me is reactionary nonsense. It invokes an imaginary golden age which never really existed.I'm going to ask everyone to stop debating. I know this is a debate forum. But for this particular thread please don't. I know it's tough cause we all have passionate ideas.
Only post what MAGA means to you.
Don't challenge
DONT DEBATE
Just see what others say it means to them.

IMO Campaign slogans are meant to be vague and Make America great again is no exception. I think it is meant to mean different things to different people. Some people think America was at it’s greatest in the 1950’s after the war, and we were experiencing record prosperity and new wealth, some think things were best during the 1980’s when the threat of Communism ended, or the 90’s when we had record financial prosperity. Whenever a person thinks America was at it’s greatest, that is what he was promising to bring to America again.I've see a few statements on threads about MAGA and people challenging the phrase.
I would like to hear what MAGA means to you. Not what you think MAGA means to others. But what does MAGA mean to you personally.
I don't want this thread to turn into an argument, or a debate, but a view. This way we can see what MAGA really means to each other. It may or may not be enlightening, but I guess we will see. So please post what MAGA means to you personally. Please don't challenge other people's posts. Ready, set, go!
The first person to ever use the phrase was Ronald Reagan in his 1980 bid for president...
Now, while I was certainly young in 1980, I see what Reagan did and see him as one of the greatest American presidents in U.S. history.
That said, the phrase reminds me of Reagan and all he did on the world stage. He was, likely first and foremost instrumental in facing down the communists on the world stage, and as such, instrumental in the defeat of the Soviet Union.
I see the same threats again today with Marxism etc. as we once had back then, except now instead of only having to face it down on the world stage, these mindsets have come home to roost right here... so the struggle is to regain economic American strength both on the world stage (defeating potential trade agreements like the TPA, TPP, TPT, the Paris accord and more that would have weakened us economically) but also fight against those Americans who believe we should have a purposefully weakened economic position, favoring other peoples and foreign nations above our own citizens.
So to me, make America great again is about putting American interests first (of all races), and standing against those who would defeat us from within. When the Soviet Union fell, the ideology was exported right here on our own soil, and we see the fight we have before us, for the ideology of our nation. To stand for American freedom, and American interests above all manner of communist (Marxist, Leninist, Stalinist, Socialist) thought.
To me, MAGA means this:I've see a few statements on threads about MAGA and people challenging the phrase.

Nah, stealing money from people via taxation and spending it on government funded-programs is SOCIALISM! That's why we need to increase military spending instead.2). Yes, cutting the defense budget in half and using that windfall to fund education and universal healthcare is a grand idea!
Of course, worked fine for the US in the 30s. More or less.I think one of the main ideas was to have the United States realize there's no reason why a nation so big in natural resources can't basically be self-sufficient.
