      ‘america first’ originated during the wilson administration and referred to his desire to stay out of the war in europe. the original ‘make america great again’ dates back to at least the 1980 reagan campaign.

      neither one originated from the two-and-a-half brain cells starving-to-death under that hilariously-awful hairpiece.
