Trump Posts MAGA Artwork With “Make America Great Again” Slogan
Trump shares campaign-style artwork bearing the Make America Great Again slogan, a phrase Ronald Reagan first used in his 1980 White House run.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump posted campaign-style artwork bearing the words “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” the slogan that has defined his political movement.
The image shows a stylized figure in a red cap and dark overcoat set against a distressed American flag and a city skyline. The red cap displays the phrase “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” in white lettering. The artwork is a digital illustration rather than a documentary photograph.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” on August 30, 2026 at 4:53 PM ET.
This is Trump’s 18th message released today, and the last post was 2 hours ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 44 of his 654 posts over the last 30 days classified as Uncategorized posts.
The slogan popularized by Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign was subsequently used in his 2020 and 2024 runs, according to ebsco. The phrase encapsulates Trump’s assertion that the United States was in decline and needed to be restored to its former glory, according to ebsco. It is characterized by its association with the red baseball caps worn by supporters.
Trump claimed to have thought of the phrase in 2012 and trademarked it for use in 2015, according to ebsco. The slogan had first been used by Ronald Reagan in 1980, and later by Bill Clinton, according to ebsco. During his time in office, Trump adjusted the wording to “Keep America Great,” a similar slogan he also used during his 2020 reelection run alongside Make America Great Again.

The slogan first surfaced in Trump’s messaging during his 2016 US presidential campaign, and today the term describes Americans who enthusiastically support Trump and his policies, according to dw. Supporters are sometimes referred to as MAGAs, or individually as a MAGA or MAGA supporter, according to ebsco.
The pledge predates Trump by decades. Ronald Reagan’s successful 1980 campaign led with the same pledge before the former Hollywood actor, union leader and California governor won office, according to ussc.edu.au. Reagan changed the country and its politics throughout his eight years in the White House, according to ussc.edu.au.
The phrase became so connected to Trump that critics often interpreted it as emblematic of divisiveness, according to ebsco. As Trump announced his candidacy for the 2024 election, he revealed a slight modification of the slogan to “Make America Great and Glorious Again,” while continuing to use the original phrase, according to ebsco.
Making America great was a campaign promise before Trump adopted it. Reagan’s 1980 campaign printed the words on buttons and used the pledge to unseat an incumbent president, according to ussc.edu.au. The former California governor served two terms in the White House, and his politics shaped the Republican Party for decades after he left office, according to ussc.edu.au.
