Donald Trump introduced MAGA to American voters during the 2016 presidential campaign. MAGA (Make America Great Again) was a shorthand for Trump’s America First political platform of lower taxes, less government regulation, border control, ending foreign wars, and re-industrialization.
MAGA was back again in 2024, and, once again, the message of America First proved popular with voters. The name “America First” dates to the 1930s and 1940s, when concerned American patriots wanted to keep America out of the brewing wars in Europe and Asia. Perhaps the best-known spokesman of this movement was the famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, who has been described as “a leading voice of opposition to U.S. involvement in World War II.”[1] The America First Committee’s influence came to an end with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.[2]
