Reagan, the Republican nominee, used it when he defeated President Jimmy Carter in 1980. Democrat Bill Clinton started his 1992 campaign with the pledge to “make America great again.” Donald Trump trademarked it for his successful 2016 Republican campaign and it remained his central slogan in his 2020 and 2024 campaigns.
