It was saddening to watch the crowds of Donald Trump supporters gathered for the inauguration to joyfully proclaim that their president would ‘make America great again’ (Metro, Tue).
Think of the Hollywood films, the jazz, the great writers such as Sinclair Lewis, Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, the space technology, the world-class medical research and the illustrious universities.
At the end of the day, he has been elected president of the US, a country thousands of miles away, which accounts for only around four per cent of the world’s population.
These are but a few of the things that make America great, not some bigoted vulgarian playing to his constituents’ ignorance.
Do MAGA supporters know what actually made America great?
