MAGA: recycling a slogan

The slogan "Make America great again" is not a Trump's invention. The slogan was originally created and used by Ronald Reagan in his 1980 campaign against Jimmy Carter. The slogan was then taken and trademarked by Trump in 2012, as an early sign of his political goals. Its meaning changed deeply between the two republican presidents.

His business struggles

Over the years, Trump faced several financial difficulties, including multiple bankruptcies tied to his casino ventures. Despite these setbacks, he maintained a high profile in business and entertainment, leveraging his brand and persona to remain influential. Although Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy, hotels and casino businesses of his have declared bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009 due to its inability to meet required payments and to re-negotiate debt with banks, owners of stock and bonds and various small businesses

Classified documents case

Following his loss in 2020 elections, Trump took with him several classified documents in his mansion in Florida. In 2023, Trump was indicted on charges related to the mishandling of classified documents, including obstruction of justice and violation of the Espionage Act. This was part of an ongoing legal battle over his handling of sensitive material after his presidency.

Two MAGAs fac to face

Trump’s MAGA draws heavily from Reagan’s original vision, but it reflects a different era and set of priorities. Where Reagan sought to unify the country around optimism and economic growth, Trump’s MAGA emphasizes populism, cultural identity, and political disruption. Both, however, used the slogan to project a vision of national revival, appealing to voters who long for a perceived past era of American strength and prosperity. The slogan was also used by other minor candidates throughout the years, like Kanye West in 2020.
