For 30 Years, Donald Trump Has Wanted To ‘Make America Great Again’

But if you go back and watch old clips β€” and by old, we mean decades-old β€” you hear a young Donald Trump sounding very much like the current Trump. Common themes include his view that trade wasn't fair, that the world has long laughed at America and countries have taken advantage of U.S. generosity while refusing to pay their "fair share" for all the U.S. does globally.

The Inauguration Parade Almost Had Tanks And Missile Launchers

The military, which traditionally works closely with the presidential inaugural committee, shot down the request, the source said. Their reason was twofold. Some were concerned about the optics of having tanks and missile launchers rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue. But they also worried that the tanks, which often weigh over 100,000 pounds, would destroy the roads.

Donald Trump’s Job Messaging is Good

Liberals in our country are quickly denouncing Donald Trump’s job creation efforts. They are quick to point out his flawed deals, the bullying and the chrony capitalism. All of those things are true, and while the news media may relish in pointing out his flaws – liberals are ignoring the fact that the media is talking about Donald Trump’s message – jobs.

People constantly tell pollsters that their top concern is jobs. Most people don’t really like their current jobs, after all it is work. Most people wish they had better jobs that were more fun, less stressful and paid more. If you make more money, there is more to spend on toys and your family, more money to put away for retirement and savings.

Repeating a message over and over again gets it in people’s heads. Most people don’t pay real close attention to politics, but they do get the subliminal messaging. Quite possibly in four years from now they’ll have forgotten the controversy of how Donald Trump has bullied and commanded businesses to his bidding and only remember one thing – that he has fought for jobs.

Every day Donald Trump is out there talking about jobs – and every day the media is following up on his message by debating whether or not he has created real jobs, he’s winning.
