I've long thought "again" was the most insidious part of Trump's slogan. It implies America is no longer great, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice the dog-whistle politics embedded in that word. 

Look at what Trump has to say about Mexican immigrants, Muslims, American POWs, women, and the disabled. For Trump, a great America is a place where someone like him - intellectually incurious, misogynistic, racist, and fascist - can dominate without interruption. If America was ever great it was because we as a nation of self-governors moved away from the baser instincts Trump represents.
