President Donald Trump recently shared a video on Truth Social that captured the true spirit of the MAGA and America First movement.
With the Star Spangled Banner playing in the background, the video captures some of the moments that define what the MAGA and America First movement is all about.
These moments include paying homage to our nation’s military members, helping those in need during difficult times like those seen in East Palestine, Ohio, respecting the nation’s flag, working for the American people, putting America first, and making America a great and prosperous nation.
The video captures the very essence of what the America First movement is all about. As Trump has noted on many occasions, it is not about one person. Rather, it is a movement of millions.
As Trump stated in a speech in 2020, “We are ONE movement, ONE people, ONE family, and ONE GLORIOUS NATION UNDER GOD!”
During his farewell address to the nation in 2021, Trump made the following comments about the America First movement:
“Together with millions of hardworking patriots across this land, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country. We also built the greatest economy in the history of the world. It was about ‘America First’ because we all wanted to make America great again.
We restored the principle that a nation exists to serve its citizens. Our agenda was not about right or left, it wasn’t about Republican or Democrat, but about the good of a nation, and that means the whole nation.
With the support and prayers of the American people, we achieved more than anyone thought possible. Nobody thought we could even come close.”
To date, the movement continues to see tremendous support and enthusiasm as Trump gears up for his 2024 campaign.
