The USA was never broken. So how did Trump get away with the motto, "Making America

Great again."

The only thing that I have ever seen that is better after it's broken, is something that is put together using the art of Kintsugi. In skilled hands, and with the proper materials you can come up with something that looked better than you had before it was broken. But, that's only if you learn to appreciate the fractured seams.

These pieces are put together together with a mixture of ceramic adhesive and gold mica powder or gold leaf. You can use other colors, but gold is one of those colors that is appealing to the eye for most people.

And, I'm just saying, that if America was ever broken, it was Trump and the MAGAs who broke it. And it will be our side who will have to find a way to put it back together. We just have to recognize that we might have to learn to live with the fracture lines. It just might be bearable if we remember that it will be the golden words our founding fathers gave us that will provide the adhesive we need to keep it together.

Reagun first used that phrase in 1980. How did he make the country great again?
