Make America Great Again

Make America Great Again («MAGA») is propagandist slogan observed in the USA at least since y.1980, see picture at right.
This slogan becomes popular in years 2016-2025 in connection with attempts of Donald Trump to appease aggression of Russia against Ukraine, see «Putin world war».
Trump's declarations look similar to those by Adolf Hitler in 1938-1939; in particular, his plan of Annexation of Alaska. In order to perform such an annexation, the precedent of successful aggression (for example, the annexation of Crimea) is very important.
In such a way, publications about making America great again (by breaking the international agreements) are helpful for interpretation of historic events.
Some examples and variations of this slogan are collected here.

Budapest memorandum
The simplest criterion of «greatness» refers to the ability to implement guaranties and promises already given by the USA administration.
At the beginning of century 21, this applies to ability of the USA to follow the guarantees specified in the Budapest memorandum.
The main problem in the implementation is related to very important question:
What do we care for memorandum signed many years ago?
Similar question is mentioned in The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling [3].
The idea to defend the basic achievements of the Human civilization is expressed with the bilingual song:
Вставай, страна огромная,
Make America Great Again;
И пусть сгниёт Лубянка темная,
Let the Prudence be clear and plain!
Мы все за прогресс,
We all, against the war!
Долой КПСС,
We shall be greater more and more!
We'll see, the Prudence works
Без кагебешных схем;
Defeat the putin's orks,
И нам поможет Uncle Sam!
It may seem to be easier to plunder a land from a peaceful country than
to deal with a state sponsor of terrorism.
For this reason, the ideas of ignorance the International Law are popular. This case is considered in the next section.
Annexation of Greenland, Panama, Canada and Mexico

One of possible interpretation of word «Great» of the slogan refers to the territorial expansion of the USA, seizing and annexing the nearby territories.
This may refer to the project of annexation of Greenland [4] shown in figure at right.
Such an expansion may look profitable as it looked profitable the annexation of Austria and Sudetenland for Germany in 1938 or the Soviet invasion into Afghanistan in 1979.
The sad historic examples show that such a «greatness» easy leads to the collapse of the Empire; see «I bombed Dresden», «Collapse of the USSR».
The idea of annexation of Greenland may be boosted by the wild fires in California in 2025 January. The faults in the Californian administrative system leaded to the money laundering on the national projects that were supposed to protect the residents. The idea of relocation from hot California to regions with less fire danger like Greenland is supposed to give some hopes to the petiole who had lost their properties in the wild fire.
TrumpForever


Hisorically, the idea to extend the territory of the USA is related to projects by Dolanld Trump, id est, to break the Constitution of the USA.
It seems to be impossible to annex Greenland during the 4 years (2025-2029) of Donald Trump. So, the idea looks as a good pretext to extend rulling of Trump: «TrumpForever».
Ways of such an extension are discussed [7].
2025.01.23, Andy Ogles (See picture at right) suggests to extend term of presidentship of Trump [5].
The annexation of new territories is not easy, and perhaps, cannot be realized firing 4 years assigned for the Trump presidentship.
This causes the project of demountage of the USA democracy, replacing it with authocratic monarchy with Donald Trump as king, as the Emperor.
This project is expressed with slogan «TrumpForever». The prohect implies that America as autocratic empire can be greater than the United States as they are specified in the USA constitution. In this sense, the slogan «TrumpForever» can be qualified as anti-constitutional.
However, due to the freedom of speech, this slogan is difficult to prohibit.
Informal fallacy
The main idea of thesis Make America Great Again seems to be de-facto substitution of initial goal of state (prudence) to some formal criteria beneficial for some offee.
For the prosperity of a society, everyone should do his primary job. In democratic countries, the state and laws had been designed to regulate relations between Humans, to avoid crimes, to provide the honest competition of businesses, to avoid misinformation, etcetera.
In this sense, the primary goal of any prudent state is implementation of the Law, avoiding frauds, monopolies, cartels, indicates, concerns, etc. Then the economic laws by Adam Smith work and provide phenomena called «economic marvel», fast growth of industry and incomes of the population.
Sometimes some not so honest offee try to avoid fulfillment of the promises, restricting the public attention to some fuzzy statements. The idea Make America Great Again seems to be such a case.
Instead of to analyze the errors, mistakes that had converter Great America to small america, the ambitious projects and goals are suggested, with doubtful hints of the ways of the implementation and without analysis of the historic precedents, without analysis of possible risks.
The idea to plunder Greenland, Panama, etc. instead of implementation of guaranties of the USA by the Budapest memorandum seem to be namely this case.
This looks as if the electrical engineer, instead of providing smart and save electric power supply, distracts the attention of the customers with funny illumination.


The administrative system of the USA has survived during centuries; so, one may expect, the USA survive the crazy programs about the «Global Warming», «National Ignition Facility», «Make America Great Again». To year 2025, the ability of the USA to make new debts still exceeds the expenses related with the money laundering on the ambitious projects. In particular, the attempts to implement the slogan MAGA is not expected to cause a collapse of the USA (similar to collapse of the USSR in 1990).
On the first glance, an attempt to Make America Great Again look as an attempt to break the International Law and to destroy the USA with vain, fake goals.
On the other hand, up to year 2025, no any serious historic model is constructed on the base of publications about «Make America Great Again».
The analogies with the Second Iraq War and the American Mission in Afghanistan
do not suggest any soon catastrophe for the USA.
It seems to be just a propagandist trick, similar to the promise to stop the Russia-Ukraine war «in 24 hours» [8],
as a demonstration of an animal suddenly appeared from a hat of an illusionist (see figure at right).
This trick district the attention from the important faults:
Failure of the USA to implement the guarantees specified in Budapest memorandum.
Failure of the USA in export of democracy to Afghanistan.
Failure of the USA to provide efficient system of extinguishing of wildfire in California.
Nobody expects the illusionist to supply a restaurant with the fresh meat exploiting his trick.
Nobody expects that the usurper decleared as president with the election fraud nor his party will provide prudence and prosperity for his country, but the people are impressed with the efficiency of the fraud; many persons try to get some benefits joining the fraud.
In the similar way, nobody had expected Donald Trump to stop the Putin world war in one day. The people are impressed with the abilities of the artist to show something non-realistic, something impossible, and the people like such an artist; that is all. In the similar way, the people like and artist who performs a funny anekdote.
Within 10 years since the beginning of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, neither the USA nor the UK had implemented the guarantees specified in the Budapest memorandum. Various «strong worries» and «deep concerns» are observed instead, see picture at right, with some moderated help from side of the Anti-Putin coalition.
One may expect that next time when any representative of the USA or the UK suggests some «guaranties» to any country, the questions will arise, what king of compensation fee from the USA or the UK can be achieved, and how this payment can be withdrawn if the USA and the UK again fail to implement the guaranties, say, during 10 years.
It will be interesting to compare such a prediction with future publications:
What will say, for example the people of Denmark and Greenland, when Donald Trump suggests them some «guaranty» in exchange for their land?
Trump as Putin's agent
2025.03.01, the movie by Washington Post appears at Youtube [9] In that movie Donald Trump acts as a putin's accomplice, tries to convince Zelensky to surrender to putin's aggression, to seise the fire, giving putin more opportunities s to break the agreement and to brake a the agreement again, in order to destroy all the Ukraine, as they had destroyed Mariupol and many other Ukrainian cities. In that conversation, Tramp pretends to be and idiot, who does not know, that Putin is war crime [10][11], agent of KGB, liar, usurper and has mania to destroy the humanity, see «Мы попадём в рай а они сдохнут» (in Russian), including the putin's idea of the conversion of the USA and other counters to «Радиоактивный пепел» (radioactive ache).
Such an accitude of Trump is easy to understand, if Trump personally gets the huge support from Putin and tries to make the USA weak. Such an interpretation follow from the cases of misinformation from Trump. According to the general rule of interpretation of propaganda, the statements by Trump shoaled be interpreted following the general rule of Newspeak («Правило новояза», in Russian). That rule assumes that by default, any non-tirival statement, thesis of propaganda should be reversed. In this case, the statement of Trump about «Make America Great Again» is an evidence, that Trump tires to make the USA weak again. More examples of such an interpretation are suggested in the children story «Gelsomino nel paese dei bugiardi» by Gianni Rodari.
To year 2025, no other concept is found to explain the strange behavior of Trump in the conversation mentioned.
An opposite concept is suggested in emulation «Рыжий Пу» (in Russian), but it has very limited range of applicability; it does not explain the dozen year delay with implementation of guaranties specified in the Budapest memorandum.
Putin is considered as agent of China (see picture at right; so, the behavior of Donald Trump (appeasing aggression) can be interpreted also as his attempt to submit the USA to China.
The problem of relation of the USA with other countries in century 21 is so heavy, that the question is not «how to Make America Great Again», but to «how to Save America» from degradation [13].
It will be interesting to compare the concept mentioned with future observations.
Opinions
The attempt to make a deal with terrorist shows weakness of the USA and that of the American President. The «Great Country» is not supposed to play games with terrorists and war crimes [10][14].
Even if Donald Trump presses Ukraine to capitulation, forces Ukraine to make deal with putin's Russia,
such a deal has no legal power.
According to article 52 of the Vienna Convention from 1969.05.23,
«A treaty is void if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations.»
In such a way, Zelensky Volodymyr Aleksandrovich cannot make a legal deal with enemy country that invades Ukraine - even if he afraid of menaces from Trump and Putin and
accept the conditions they suggest.

The brutal style of Donald Trump harms Americans and makes image of Trump as a barbarian bully; this is expressed in 2025.03.01.protests [15], see the screenshot at right and the emulation at the end of Gallery below.
2025.03.02, Oleksii Goncharenko indicates the the blowout between Zelensky and Trump is good neither for the USA nor for Ukraine. [16]
2025.03.03, Solonin Mark Semenovih (Солонин Марк Семёнович) indicates that the problem of transfer of superior power in Ukraine has no universal solution in condition of war [17]. The discussion at the Oval Office 2025.02.28 appears as a shameful fail of Trump and great victory of Zelensky.
2025.03.03, Vladimir Karaban (Владимир Карабан) indicates [18] that many Americans think that Donald Trump and James David Vance are responsible for the conflict at the Oval Office.
The bulling does not look as an efficient way to Make America Great Again.

The part of discussion 2025.02.28 at the Oval Office, that does not appear at the movies available in the free access:
(emulation begin)
Zelensky: We need guarantees of safeness of our country.
Trump: First, you should accept my plan.
Zelensky: We need guarantees. This plan will not work under permanent attack from the Russians..
Trump (interrupts): This is my office and you'll do that I say!
Zelensky: Sorry, mister President, I am not Monica Lewinsky and ..
Trump (interrupts): Fuck! Bullshit, you dare to contradict the president of the greatest country!.. Operators, stop recording! I'll tell this bastard what I think of him!
(emulation end)
2025.02.28, Samuel Chamberlain and Diana Glebova note that Zelensky disrespected the United States of America [19]. The USA and the RF could easy convert all the Ukraine (and half of Europe) into the radioactive ache, but yet US and RF still did not do it; this good will is supposed to be respected. It will be interesting to see, how soon the Chamberlain's and Diana's appeasing aggression will lead to the full-scale war that will affect their country.
Warning

In any case, Editor keeps his right
to call things with their proper names,
to construct historic models and
to compare their predictions to to observations (in particular to the a posteriori publications).

Ogles Proposes Amending the 22nd Amendment to Allow Trump to Serve a Third Term Image January 23, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution of the United States to allow a President to be elected for up to but no more than three terms. The language of the proposed amendment reads as follows: // ‘‘No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.’’ // "President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years. He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal. To that end, I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms. This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs," said Congressman Ogles.
