Of course Trump's assertion is ridiculous and egotistical, but that is a separate issue from the OP's misleading thread title, which Oldglory succinctly summarizes.
The only issue I have with Oldglory's post is the facepalm.
Why? Because I don't believe for a second that the OP is the least bit dense. I think she realizes full well that the thread title is misleading, and just doesn't care. And I say that as non Trump supporter, who didn't vote for him and isn't a Republican.
Even if his election has in some infinitesimal sense made people feel more comfortable expressing how they feel about such matters, any extent would be neigh-on to impossible to truly, objectively quantify....but that doesn't grant the OP a pass to create a misleading thread title and not be called on the misleading nature of the title.
There was no face palm in my post. It was a smack for the OP spinning the truth.

Sure I'll grant the misleading title, but as a rational human being, I just find it wholly more concerning that a president cannot stop lying about even the smallest of things than some random, unimportant person on the internet doing it. Call me crazy, but you know... priorities.
Please provide multiple examples of these throngs of people referring to "One Nation Under God" when they aren't reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Go ahead, I'll wait......
What are you talking about? The OP said that Trump claimed a certain slogan was made up by himself when Trump never claimed that. He just said that more people are using it these days because of him. They're not afraid of being patriotic and expressing traditional values now.

IOW, it's just another thing he's taking credit for with NO such facts in evidence.
