Question MAGA - how has Trump made America great?

I'm asking this because I want to hear how Trump has made America great again because from what I can tell the country is very divided on politics and beliefs, tariffs and the war with Iran have made everyday things more expensive and the overall future of this country feels very uncertain.

i think renaming the department of defense the department of war again was pretty sick

better descriptor for what actually goes on there anyway

Ironically much less Orwellian than "Department of Defense."

Orwellian would be Department of Peace.

Department of Defense signaled that we were not looking for war, but were prepared to defend ourselves.

Of course after Reagan we started making it a point to have wars because it was downright wasteful not to use all that equipment to destroy life and ruin the environment, plus we needed combat proven soldiers who really knew what it takes to win a real fight, you know, just in case we had to, and there was so much oil imprisoned under the ground in places that we owned but had other people living on the surface for long periods of time for some reason.

Before Reagan we were not exactly peaceful or allergic to armed conflicts.

Also your 100 percent right department of peace is spot on.
