You're going the wrong way with this. 
The Gilded Age was not a time of prosperity - notable for political corruption, and the wealthy taking all the spoils, while being a terrible time for everyone else.
I feel like that's a rare honest moment from Trump.
I would just generally say that if conservatives wanted to "make America great again", they're largely going in the completely wrong direction. The 1950's had high investments and high tax rates - a lot of other things that conservatives are pushing against.
