According to Trump America was never great during his lifetime.

When America Was ‘Great’
Question: ....I’m just wondering what is the era when you think the United States last had the right balance, either in terms of defense footprint or in terms of trade?

TRUMP: Well sometime long before that. Because one of the presidents that I really liked was Ronald Reagan but I never felt on trade we did great. O.K.? So it was actually, it would be long before that.

Question: So was it Eisenhower, was it Truman, was it F.D.R.?

TRUMP: No if you really look at it, it was the turn of the century, that’s when we were a great, when we were really starting to go robust.

Shut up you pathetic partisan hack.

[FillJackson]

Of course, it typical Trump style when he tries to sound informed, he contradicts himself in the same paragraph.

TRUMP: No if you really look at it, it was the turn of the century, that’s when we were a great, when we were really starting to go robust. But if you look back, it really was, there was a period of time when we were developing at the turn of the century which was a pretty wild time for this country and pretty wild in terms of building that machine, that machine was really based on entrepreneurship etc, etc. And then I would say, yeah, prior to, I would say during the 1940s and the late ‘40s and ‘50s we started getting, we were not pushed around, we were respected by everybody, we had just won a war, we were pretty much doing what we had to do, yeah around that period.

so 116 years ago or maybe 66 years ago.

Greatness is both relative and subjective.

According to Trump, we have not been great enough and we can be greater.

Donald Trump could fart into a can and seal it and you'd buy it from him just so you could inhale it later. Get real. The guy is an idiot.

'Murrica was great in the 90s. Arguably the GOAT era across the board. A Clinton was in the big chair then.

Coincidence?

Only one way to find out, and find out we will.
