When Trump was campaigning for election in 2015 and 2026 he coined two phrases namely -


*     America First; and

*     Make America Great Again - MAGA


Those two phrases has grown beyond Trump and is now the approach of the Republican Party as a whole  in the USA.   Even though Trump often endorse candidates who support the concept - they use the same approach towards issues  even if not endorsed by Trump.    Most Republican candidates strive for endorsement by Trump - but that does not ensure election - since the concept has grown beyond Trump.


Any candidate collaborating with the Democrats are doomed and will have great difficulty in getting Reublican Party support - even though they are trying to support some RINO's like Murkowski and Cheney - but these would hve a hard time getting voter support from the Republican base.   


The problem  the Republican Party faced in the past  was there were no real differences between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.   That has changed because -


*     the Democratic Party has moved to the extreme leftwing socialist approach; and

*     the Republicans adopted a ore centrist  approach in Government.


Career politicians in the USA has become part of what is called the "Washington Swamp" - a situation where politicians enrich themselves at the expense of the electorate.    They get kickbacks from institutions getting Government contract or buy shares in companies on an trading basis.    That is why the all for term limits are getting stronger -  


*     the President and Governors do have two-term limits; 

*     but the problem is with Senators and members of the House - where career politicians hrive.   


Before the members become corrupted by he swamp they should be send packing.    The real fact is that the Democrts thrive in bribery and corruption - while some swamp Republicans are in the same boat.    So what should the term limits entail -


*    Senators two 6 year terms;

*    House members six two year terms.  


Hope the  ideal position is reached - those involved in kickbacks should be charged  with bribery and corruption at present rife in Washington.        .

Trump's America first, actually means American shareholders first.
However, both political parties are on the corporate payroll in America.
Corporates are taking over the world. If you don't own shares, you are irrelevant to the bribed politicians other than a vote. 

The middle class is shrinking as capitalism gets more centralized, with the wealth in the hands of fewer people. Ultimately this is causing the West to become more authoritarian, and less Democratic. Who cares about social issues if the wealth is in the hands of a tiny minority who refuse to pay taxes.

Hey Einstein the wealthy did not make the tax laws in the USA, the Congress and Senate approve the laws which the President forwards to them or they themselves wish to introduce and vote it into law.

You will be OK fella they won't touch your "Dole".

SB

Who are the billionnaires running the USA politics at present.   Look no further than Gates, Zuckerberg,  the Walten family, Bezos and Soros.   They are definitely all aligned to the Democratic Party and made billions in contributions to them.   The Democrats are the party protecting them as well.

There are not many of the top capitalists supporting the Republican Party financially - so the result is a Democratic Party being the political arm  of the richest people in the world.    Fact is they bribe the Democrat politicians  and nothing is clearer than that.    

All the noise is about increase in taxation on the ultra wealthy - yet the fact is that after 15 months Biden has not moved an inch to get the threatened taxation increase for the ultra-wealthy a reality.   He has tied the increase to  unconstitutional voting legislation and support of other rubbish to the plan and it will never pass at present - so Biden rules by mandates he issued which is supposed to be approved by Cong ress and never were.

"America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections.

Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration.
The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century.
Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings.
More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million.
Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.
The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record.
Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades.
Trump got things done."
And no new wars started on his watch...America was healthy which means the world was healthy...now the price of diesel has just about doubled in less than 2 years...Brent almost tripled...putting America first puts the world first...but yeah, Orange man Bad.

Anyone can copy and paste misinformation and try pass it off as fact to justify Trump. 
The corporates go richer under Trump and the middle class continues to shrink.

Greed is what it is all about.

Most politicians and their associates are on the take we all know and understand that.

As I have stated previously until such time as you have a system that enforces full financial disclosure plus business/family links you will have "TAKERS".

The old saying that most have a price to look the other way is not a new concept but an old and unfortunate flaw in human nature.

If you guys ran a business in RSA you would be familiar with the system no doubt.

Biden is a great example of a politician who has a few million dollar homes paid $800 K in taxes/legal fees for his son all out of his government salary.

How????????????

Unbelievable to some but not you two.

You can stick your head up your arse all the way, and it still won't change the fact that unemployment was the lowest in decades, no new wars started...Norks, Ruskies, Iran and ISIS in check...stable food and fuel prices...the current lot are deliberately causing crazy inflation...The left are not the good guys...bunch of greedy sharks...
