The Democrats say MAGA is about recreating the 1950s when you had Joe McCarthy suppressing free speech. When you had no civil rights for blacks in this country. When I asked President Trump "when you say 'make America great again,' to what era is the "again" refer to? And he said, he refers to the Kennedy Administration. When our country, America was at its apex. We owned half the wealth on the face of the earth. The American middle class was the greatest economic engine ever devised in our country. Every American understood if you worked hard, if you played by the rules, you could finance a home. You could take a summer vacation. You could raise a family. You could put something aside for retirement on a single job.

During that administration, everybody around the world wanted American products and we were building them for them. Automobiles, they wanted our cars, our transistor radios, our blue jeans. All these things were built here in America on our industrial base.

And we were the moral authority around the world. People all over the world wanted American leadership. They knew the difference, which this administration does not, between leadership and bullying.

And President Trump, if you saw, I was so proud of him during that press conference with Zelensky when he was very firm and he said "we're going to end the war," and he didn't back down. He said "this is what we're going to do."

And that is what to me MAGA means. It means going back to the place we were during the Kennedy Administration when America was at the apex of its greatness. It’s a message of optimism. It’s a message of idealism. It’s a message of hope…And it’s a symbol not for isolationism. But a symbol for projecting economic power abroad and moral authority abroad rather than military power.
