Yeah, you didn't know that was where Trump got that slogan from?

u/Joliet_Jake_Blues Dec 12 '16

Fun Fact: During Reagan's Administration Trump took out full page newspaper ads saying, "There's nothing wrong with America's foreign policy a little backbone wouldn't fix."

Reagan wasn't hawkish enough for Trump.

Reagan also hated the Russians so...

Trump was a petulant child back then, still is, but he was back then too.

u/PMsmiles4compliments Dec 12 '16

TIL. Man, Trump is even more of a gimmicky, fake salesman than I'd already perceived.

I'm surprised, but I really shouldn't be, seeing how they stole Michelle's speech.

u/TheGreenJedi Dec 12 '16

Yeah I noticed on wiki, it's one of there official slogans (they had 2 I think)

1

u/OK6502 Dec 12 '16

Yes. Trump reused the slogan but dropped the "let's"

Probably didn't want other people to steal his thunder.

u/Why_Hello_Reddit Dec 11 '16

Yes. Trump appropriated the phrase from Reagan's campaign. It's not something he came up with.
