Description
The book was inspired by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign mantra: “We’ll make America great again.” The phrase “great again” contains implications:
1. If America was ever great, when was it great?
2. In what ways was it great?
3. And if it was great, what happened to its greatness?
The author discusses these implications in conjunction with, among other documentations, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Emancipation Proclamation, today’s ineffectual and self-serving Congress, and contemporary events having nothing to do with greatness. Also, he questions who is included in the “we” of the mantra and how renewed greatness will be effected.
