Make America Great Again

Make America Great Again

The most powerful four words that would assist and propel Donald Trump to the White House were an inspiration born years before, when barely anybody but Trump himself could imagine himself taking the oath of office as the 45th president of the United States.

It took place on Nov. 7, 2012, right after Mitt Romney lost what had actually been presumed to be a winnable race versus President Obama. All GOP members were spiraling into an identity crisis, one that had some questioning whether a GOP president would ever sit in the Oval Office ever again.

However on the 26th floor of a golden Manhattan New York tower that bears his name, Trump was concerning his conclusion that his own moment was at hand.

And in normal style, the first thing he thought about was ways to brand name it.

One after another, expressions popped into his head. "We'll Make America Great". They did not have the best ring. Then, "Make America Great." However that sounded like a minor slogan to the country.

Then, it struck him: "Make America Great Again."

The Cost To Make America Great Again

I stated, 'That is so good.'I wrote it down," Trump recalled in an interview. "I went to my attorneys. I have a great deal of legal representatives in-house. We have lots of attorneys. I have actually got people that handle this stuff. I stated, 'Check if you can have this registered and trademarked.'

5 days later, Donald Trump signed an application with the United States Patent Office, where he requested exclusive rights to use "Make America Great Again" for the use of "political action committee services, specifically, marketing public awareness of political reasons and fundraising in the field of politics." Donald paid a $325 registration fee.

Trumps vision ran against the normal wisdom at the time, in fact, he was "far the opposite," Trump stated.

To save the party, the Republican candidate Trump was convinced, the GOP would need to sand off its edges, becoming kinder and more inclusive. Stating "Make America Great Again" was dissentious and backward-looking. It gave no nod to diversity or foreword progress.

It sounded like a death wish to the GOP's.

However Trump had actually envisioned something completely different in the nation, and in the lives of its working class citizens.

"Trump felt that the working class were hurting," Trump stated. "I saw the many types of illness our country had, and whether it's at the border, whether it's security, or it's law and order or absence of order. Then, obviously, you get to negotiate, and I said to myself, 'Exactly what would be good?' I was sitting in this very spot, where I am sitting now, and I stated, 'Make America Great Again.'"
