" Make Great America More " (abbreviated as MAGA ) is the campaign slogan used in American politics popularized by Donald Trump in a successful 2016 presidential campaign. Ronald Reagan used a similar slogan " Let's Make America Great Again " in a successful 1980 presidential campaign.

1980 presidential campaign Reagan
"Let's Make America Great Again" was first used in the 1980 presidential campaign of President Ronald Reagan, when the United States suffered a deteriorating economy at home marked by stagflation. Using state economic pressure as a springboard for his campaign, Reagan used the slogan to evoke a sense of patriotism among voters.

Usage by Bill Clinton
This phrase was also used in Bill Clinton's speech during his 1992 presidential campaign; However, that is not a campaign slogan. Clinton also used the phrase in a radio advertisement that aired for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2008.
During the 2016 election campaign, Clinton suggested that the Trump version, used as a campaign call, was a message to the white South that Trump promised to "give you the economy you had 50 years ago, and... move you back to the totem pole social and others down. "
Trump 2016 presidential campaign
On September 16, 2011, Roger Stone, an old Trump political advisor and veteran Reagan campaign in 1980, tweeted: "Make America Great again - TRUMP HUCKABEE 2012 #nomormons." Two months later, in December 2011, Trump made a statement in which he said he did not want to rule out a future presidential candidate, explaining "I have to abandon all my options open because, above all, we have to make America great again". Also in December 2011, he published a book using subtitles with a similar phrase "Making America # 1 Again" - which in 2015 was released to be "Make America Great Again!"
Trump himself began using the slogan officially on 7 November 2012, a day after Barack Obama won his re-election against Mitt Romney. He first considered "We Will Make America Great," but did not feel like it had the right "ring" to it. "Make America Great" is her first name, but after further reflection, she feels that it's a bit for Americans because it implies that America is never great. After selecting "Make America Great Again", Trump immediately asked a lawyer to register it. (Trump later said that he was unaware of Reagan's use in 1980 to 2015, but noted that "he is not the trademark.") On November 12 he signed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office requesting the exclusive right to use the slogan to political goals. It was listed as a service mark on July 14, 2015, after Trump officially started the 2016 presidential campaign and showed that it used the slogan for the stated purpose of the app.
During the campaign, Trump often used the slogan, especially by wearing a white-lettered hat, which soon became popular with supporters. The slogan is crucial for a campaign that is spent more on making a hat - it sells for $ 25 on its site - rather than in polls, consultants, or television commercials; the candidate claimed that "millions" were sold. After Trump's election, the presidential transition website was set up at greatagain.gov. President Trump declared in January 2017 that the slogan of his reelection campaign in 2020 was "Keep America Great" and promptly ordered a lawyer for the trademark.
Social media usage
Donald Trump takes the campaign slogan to social media (especially Twitter), using hashtags #makeamericagreatagain and his acronym #maga. In response to criticisms about his frequent and unusual use of social media, Trump defended himself by tweeting "My social media usage does not belong to the President - this is the PRESIDENT OF THE MODERN DAY. Make the Great America Again!" on July 1, 2017. This comment justifies the use of social media as the primary method of communicating on the basis of it.
In the first half of 2017 alone, Trump has repeated its slogan on Twitter 33 times. In an article for Bloomberg, Whitehouse noted "A regression analysis shows that the phrase adds (very less) 51,000 to the number of retweet-and-favorite posts, which is a big deal considering that the average Trump tweet pulls a total of 107,000."
Trump linked social media with his victory when he said "I won the 2016 election with interviews, speeches, and social media." According to RiteTag, hourly statistic estimates for #maga on Twitter alone include: 1304 unique tweets, 5,820,000 hashtag exposures, and 3424 retweets with 14% of #maga tweets including images, 55% including links, and 51% including designations.
Donald Trump set up his Twitter account in March 2009. His followers count increased significantly after his announcement to run for president in the 2016 presidential election, with a significant spike after both securing the Republican nomination and winning the presidency.

Trump claimed after the election that the hats were "copied, unfortunately, this was destroyed by 10 to one [...] but it was a slogan, and every time someone bought it, it was an advertisement".
