It's hard to believe, but last week marked the 10-year anniversary of when Donald Trump came down the escalator to announce his run for the presidency.
"He's really kept true to his words when he rode down the escalator 10-years ago, and that's what I wanted to focus on" said political writer, Dr. Brian Joondeph, who did a feature on American Thinker.
What started as the initial 'MAGA' mention, has grown into a full 'MAGA' movement, that is now bigger than Trump.
"Trump is filling a vacuum, there's been a leadership vacuum for decades, particularly on the Republican side where they make grand promises and then don't deliver" Dr. Joondeph told KTRH, "He's just giving voice to millions of disaffected voters that are unhappy with the direction that America is going, and that want to make America great again."
He adds that Republicans now need to keep their word, and deliver for the American people. In the meantime, 'MAGA' is a whole lot more than it was a decade ago.
