Sorry dude, you just dont get to rebrand racism and make it more user friendly. I consider the slogans as well as the Rebel flag nothing more than a call to white nationalists. I fully believe he was aware of where these slogans got their origin, and is more than willing to deal in concepts of white fear and white nationalist concepts to further his agenda. That might or might not make him a racist, it damn sure makes him a race baiter. As I have said, I voted for him because I hoped he would grow into the President for all Americans..... IM simply not seeing that. And I think alot of his supporters are choosing to ignore it.
Well, I hate to break it to you, the origins pre-date clan usage. Woodrow Wilson, Coolidge, McKinley, and Harding all used the catchphrase.
It is a great catchphrase, as is MAGA. It acknowledges the greatness of America and insinuates we have lost some of that greatness, which we have.
Again, the words America first are simply common sense. It is the job of our representatives to put America before every other country on the planet. Many people are sick of seeing politicians appearing to favor other countries.
I appreciate your last part. What if, “this is the real Trump?”

Let me ask you a couple of questions regarding immigration and put race aside.
Does it make sense to have a lottery system in place to take random people from countries, like drawing names out of a hat?
Does chain migration make sense, to bring in people simply because they are related? I mean, I have an uncle who has been in trouble with the law and has no skills whatsoever, other than making married women pregnant...not his wife.
Believe it or not, I am a DACA supporter, but only after we stop the issue of recurrence...and we cannot allow the parents to stay. The parents willfully broke the law of our sovereign nation, and that cannot be rewarded. I would also only allow those DACA kids stay if they earn it...HS diploma earned, no record.
As for the wall itself, would you support “nonviolent inmate labor” to build it, reducing the cost of the wall? In exchange for two years of work, while learning a skill, earning five dollars per hour because they will be given room and board, they will be exonerated of their felony...they won’t even have to acknowledge it on an application for employment? Hell, I would even allow visitation from family.
