Undated: "Make
America Great Again" (abbreviated as MAGA) is a
campaign slogan used in
American politics that was popularized by
Donald
Trump in his successful
2016 presidential campaign.
Ronald Reagan used the similar slogan "Let's Make America Great Again"
in his successful
1980 presidential campaign. Democratic pollster
Douglas Schoen has called Trump's use of the phrase as "probably the most
resonant campaign slogan in recent history," citing large majorities of
Americans who believed the country was in decline.[1][2]
The slogan has become a
pop culture phenomenon, seeing widespread use and spawning numerous variants
in the arts, entertainment and politics.

Fact Check: Hitler and Trump. Common slogans?
Claim
As the Nazi Party rose to power, Hitler used the slogan "Make Germany Great
Again."
What's True
A prominent theme during the Nazi Party's ascendancy was restoring Germany to
its former greatness, and Adolf Hitler used the phrase "make Germany great
again" upon occasion.
What's False
"Make Germany Great Again" was not a (campaign) slogan employed by Hitler, and
Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler are far from the only politicians who promised to
make their countries "great again."
Origin
In March 2016, various online images attempted to draw a connection between
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler by
claiming that both politicians campaigned using similar slogans:

Make America White Again?
Donald Trump’s language is eerily similar to the 1920s Ku Klux Klan—hypernationalistic
and anti-immigrant.

President Trump: Replace The Dollar With Gold As The Global Currency To Make
America Great Again
As it happens, there is a global currency.
It’s called the "U.S. dollar.”
Most international trade is priced in dollars. The Bretton Woods international
monetary system invested the dollar, which then was defined as and
(internationally) was legally convertible to gold at $35/oz, with global
currency status. France’s then-finance minister, later its president, Valéry
Giscard d'Estaing, called the “reserve currency” status of the dollar -- its
status, along with gold, as global currency -- an “exorbitant
privilege.”

14: Cherokee teacher: Why I objected to ‘Make America
Great Again’ shirts in class
When River Ridge High School math teacher Lyn Orletsky instructed two boys in
her pre-calculus class to turn their “Make America Great Again” T-shirts inside
out to conceal the slogan, her motivation was not political, she said. After
teaching five years in conservative Cherokee County where nearly three out of
four voters endorsed Donald Trump in November, Orletsky had seen many pro Trump
shirts in her classroom.
But this was Aug. 31, two weeks after white supremacists and Neo Nazis adopted
“Make America Great Again” as their rallying cry in Charlottesville, Va. A
counterdemonstrator was killed and others injured when one of the marchers drove
his car intentionally into a crowd. Orletsky feared the slogan would intimidate
the minority students who comprised a third of her math class that morning.

March 12: Make America White Again?
Donald Trump’s language is eerily similar to the 1920s Ku Klux Klan—hypernationalistic
and anti-immigrant.
Last weekend, Saturday Night Live produced a mock “Voters
for Trump” ad, in which everyday “real Americans” gently describe why they
support Donald Trump for president—before they are all revealed to be white
supremacists, Klan members, and Nazis. Trump, of course, not only received
former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke’s
support for his candidacy, but also declined to
disavow the Ku Klux Klan on CNN.

Trump declares mission accomplished in his bid to make America great again
To hear Donald Trump tell it this week, things have never been better in
America, thanks to him.
At a
rally in Evansville, Ind., on Thursday, the president took his latest
victory lap, reiterating that the time had already come to update his famous
campaign slogan.
“You know our new slogan that we’ll be switching to because we’re way ahead of
schedule to ‘Make America Great Again,’ right? It’s called ‘Keep America Great!’
That’s what’s happening. We’re so far ahead of schedule.”

September 16: Eric Holder: "Make America Great Again" Mindset Is
Rooted In Fear Of Future
Saturday at the Human Rights Campaign national dinner, former Attorney General
Eric Holder gave his perspective on the president's "Make America Great Again"
slogan. He said the idea of idealizing the past is rooted in fear of the future,
and "they are just too busy figuring out how to make America great again."
"Every time I hear that phrase I wonder when exactly do they have in mind? What
decade? What year?"
He added: "This sort of thinking, this ‘Make America Great’ mindset is not only
flawed, it’s rooted in fear. And it favors an imagined past over a realistic
future."

24: [From "why do people love -or
hate- Trump? Here Are The 20 Top Reasons "]
1. He says he wants to “Make America Great Again.”
Yes, this is what he says. But what that means is that he wants to return to an
America that was racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic. It means he wants
to return to a time when white men ruled the country and received a leg up on
others by stepping on their necks. In other words, he wants to move backwards
and erase all of the progress America has made since the Civil Rights struggles
of the 1960s. The sad truth is that America was never great, but we were moving
away from that. Trump wants to reverse progress.

19: Donald Trump Is Making Canada Great Again
For an administration that came into power on an “America First” agenda, railed
against international trade deals for being unfair to the United States, and
promised to create new jobs here at home, its current stance on marijuana policy
could not be any more counter to their stated goals.
If anything, the Trump Administration’s current stance on the cannabis industry
can only be described as “Canada First.”

President Trump has filed a trademark application for his campaign slogan, but
he's not even the first presidential candidate to use it. Here's how Ronald
Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton employed the phrase.
December 14: Donald Trump is under
investigation. Trump’s business is under investigation. Trump’s campaign
operation is under investigation. Trump’s transition team is under
investigation. Trump’s foundation is under investigation. Trump’s inaugural
committee is under investigation.
Trump’s former campaign chairman and deputy chairman have already pleaded guilty
to multiple felonies. Trump’s former White House National Security Advisor and
Trump’s former personal attorney have both pleaded guilty to felonies, and are
either awaiting sentencing or are already headed to prison.
Meanwhile, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is ongoing, and by
some measures, the probe appears to be intensifying.
