It is like he is trying to be the worst candidate ever. 
Can you make a worse decision that that?

Waiting for the believers to jump in on his defense in 3....2....

Trump is a horrible candidate. Does this make him worse? No. This is as silly as the Right's Obama's "Move Forward" meltdown. Brad, it's ok to call me a MAGA again since I did vote for Trump 1 out of the 3 times I have seen him on the ballot. Now I know why they changed the back side of the quarter...

[McLoofus 35,182]

I would be able to write it off if not for the "America First" slogan, which is nakedly nationalistic and xenophobic. Per usual, it's an attempt to displace blame for all our problems onto foreign (and, less explicitly, non-white) entities. Oh, and all the other Nazi-esque s*** he keeps doing. The dude is a fascist. 

But hey, I'm sure it's very appealing to the same kind of dumbass who still calls it the "Wuhan virus".

Real question...Why is putting America first a bad thing? I get that the world is smaller and much more interconnected than at any time in our history, but shouldn't we want to be placing ourselves first or at least striving to be?

 

That said, the choice to use that image is not surprising from this administration. Forethought isn't and hasn't been a strength.

Not only is it *not* a bad thing, but it should be assumed that every single decision POTUS makes- any and every  POTUS- puts America first.

As a campaign slogan coming from this administration in this of all years- when our problems are almost entirely of a domestic nature- it is a clear appeal to his base's worst nationalistic and xenophobic tendencies.

The term "America First" has a history.

It's the term's historical association with Nationalism that is problematic.

Oh, I assumed everyone knew about that stuff but were prepared to grant him plausible deniability again.

It is not a bad thing and nothing new from Trump. Geared more toward economics and putting people to work more than anything.

Our aquila is codified to look left from the viewers perspective. 

They're dog whistling.

Coming after Obama, putting America’s best interests first was a very appealing concept.

Trying to make something out of that symbol is really grasping at straws.

Except for that history thing, where "America First" was synonymous with isolationism and anti-semitism.

But to your point, I doubt if Trump is even aware of that.  (Nor - apparently - are the MAGAs.)

No way, but to each his own. Awesome road trip music, along with Dire Straits.

I get the very valid point here. I really do. But if you think that Trump actually took the time to look that up or actually knew that, then you hold him in far higher esteem than I do. Trump knows what's at the end of his nose, dick, and wallet and precious little else,.
