Yes. Someone being so self-involved, thin-skinned, retaliatory, outwardly offensive, lacking compassion and not stimulating hope and change for ALL, will not benefit others, let alone make anything great.

I am saying I did not understand grammatically what you wrote. Not the basis of what you wrote. Trump has a strategy and it's a little different than yours. I do not think he has lied about anything. He is entitled to make changes and modifications to what he projects that he will be able to do for our country, as he moves along. Give this wonderful man a chance. He is your president for the next 8 years..

And she is not "legal", right? Oh, but I guess that's different... Yeah, money has been involved with any female he has been with.. OH, except the ones from which he just took what he wanted.

No he can't.

Countries wax and wane. The US is in decline in relative terms and nobody can stop it. "To make America great again" is a positive slogan in terms of providing the bottom 50% Americans a better life so that everyone member of the society get to share the greatness of the country, not just 20% of it.

Eight years? Don't count on it.

This is just a difficult concept for some to grasp. I would like to know what time period those who say "again" are referring to? And what are the points of "improvement" that are going to make it "greater"?

Taking away women's rights and birth control? Altering MediCare and Medicaid, besides regular Health Care...talk about it costing more $$. How about the idea of everyone having an abortion pay for a funeral for an aborted fetus? Oh, what about repealing Roe vs. Wade, so as to not allow abortions and create even more overcrowding, poverty? (Gee, if some had not resisted allowing for Sex Ed and birth control, abortion would not have been as big an issue in the first place). Racism will blossom, support of the KKK, more hate crimes, hatred and unfairness for the LGBT.

More companies and better jobs in the U.S. being promised is unlikely and unrealistic. Even if it is possible, it would not be soon. Some don't realize how much time it takes to create change, as with having had to recover from prior setbacks during the past eight years, that is not given enough credit for.

Yes...I would like to know what positive change is expected.

It is about the definition of making America great again. Ronald Reagan used the same slogan in his 1980 Campaign, but times were way different then. Reagan, in my opinion had completely different ideas than Donald Trump has.

Your thoughts?
IMO America was never not great, to suggest that Trump will make America great again what specific period is he endeavoring to return to for this greatness to reoccur ?

He's trying to tell you that you need to learn to punctuate, capitalize and spell correctly. Not doing so makes your posts hard to understand. I had the same thought. (i.e. "He lied to you address it". I think you mean "He lied to you. Address it". These things make a difference).

Well, we should not compare to Trump to Reagan. They are similar but really different as well - and it is quite doubtful that Trump will bring "Glory" to the States and that he will make the States "Great again." We shall see.

I think he's latched on to the sentiment people have to want to make America great again. Will he follow through and listen to his supporters who want to make it great again and turn things around? We can hope but its way too early.
Obama made a lot of promises and then abandoned nearly all of them them.
