When Reagan said it, it meant to not yield to the Iranian ayatollahs or to what he considered Marxist tendencies. Under Trump it means return to the good old days when minorities knew their subordinate and impoverished places, people worked longer and harder for much less, welfare and unions were practically non-existent, taxes and regulations were few, the gold standard was in effect, the common man believed that God had made him responsible to the economic elites, and the elites could lord it over everyone...

1920s again, when it was great to be rich  in America.

Make America Great Again (for the Master Class) -- that's the hidden meaning.

Donald Trump is taking credit for trends that existed before him and have nothing to do with him. The Stock Market has soared because of near-zero interest rates. Unemployment among blacks and Hispanics is at all-time lows because blacks and Hispanics have done things right (more education, more development of vocational skills, and more business formation) as trends that began before Donald Trump became a high-profile celebrity. ISIS reels because Obama gave the military and the intelligence services what they wanted for doing so -- and because ISIS is so horrible that where it is ousted it is unwelcome (much like fascism in World War II).

Anybody can ride a trend. What Donald Trump does not admit is that he is taking the equivalent of a leisurely boat ride eastward on Lake Erie and is dead set on taking the course where it leads. Lake Erie funnels into the Niagara River around Buffalo -- need I say more?

Profits first, people other than the rich -- only in the Afterlife.

You pygmies are acting like voters aren’t individuals or even blocs—that it can mean multiple things to multiple people.

Exactly. Such a vague set of words means one thing to the one who pushes it and whatever others want it to mean -- if they fall for the slogan. The Nazis used the slogan "Community  over self"... what sort of community?

I prefer specifics when people try to sell me something.
