45th President Donald Trump has revealed that he can’t run in 2024 on the slogan “Keep America Great,” because “America’s not great right now.”
Speaking to a crowd at his Mar-a-Lago home over the weekend, President Trump declared that since the Biden administration took power, Americans were now “living in a Third World country,” blaming many current crises on their leadership.
“We had a thing, Keep America Great. It was going to be a theme, we had Make America Great Again, and this was going to be a theme, because we did so well. Keep America Great, and I couldn’t use it, because I said America’s not great right now,” Trump confirmed. “We’re laughed at all over the world.”
“There’s never been destruction of a country, in my opinion, outside of horrendous war, there’s never been destruction of a country like there has been of the United States in the last two years,” the former President added. “All of these were self-inflicted… With all of the great things we did, it’s so sad to see what’s happened. ”

One of the first examples Trump led with was the arrest of Ashli Babbitt’s mother, Micki Witthoeft, Ashli Babbitt’s mother, for allegedly “jaywalking” during a peaceful protest on the anniversary of her daughter’s killing by Capitol Police.
“We have a weaponised country right now with law enforcement,” Trump argued. “[Witthoeft was arrested] because she was protesting the death of her daughter being shot by a lunatic who’s got a record of ‘not so good’, and then they try and protect him… So she loses her daughter, and on top of it, she gets arrested.”
BLM almost burned down Washington DC and their charges were dropped, but if you are Ashli Babbit’s mother you get arrested for “jaywalking”on the two year anniversary of your daughter’s murder.

Trump further lambasted Biden’s pull-out of Afghanistan, and his current policy towards Russia and Ukraine, alleging that Putin would “never in a million years [have] attacked Ukraine” if he was still in office.
“We’ve spent now $107 billion dollars, and Europe has given about $9 billion,” Trump noted. “Why isn’t Europe paying the same as us?” he queried, adding that America was now being “treated like absolute fools,” with Europe taking advantage of them.
The former President further argued that when he was in charge, the southern border was the “safest… in history,” as opposed to now, with enough fentanyl being seized by the DEA to kill every single American.
“Millions of people are allowed to pour into our country, and they’re now letting in the prisoners,” Trump added. “They’re bringing them in, through the caravans, and they’re dumping them into our country,” slamming the Biden administration as being “sick” for allowing unfettered migration over the border. “They’re sick people, and I believe they hate our country.”
