Some rights reserved.I do not live in the US but like many in the world outside it, I keep track of and am aware of a lot of what happens there, maybe sometimes more than those who actually live there. Let’s start off with the question of the day: Why did people feel that America needed to be made great again? What made America such a bad place for a section of the population that they felt they needed to go back to the old days? I say “old days” since it seems like most of the younger generation of today isn’t comprised of Trump supporters [1], but a lot of the previous generation is. Anyway, the question is why did America need to be made great ‘again’?

It is because a large section of the population who feels that way haven't and won't go to college, and won't get an education that will make them more employable. They won’t undertake an education that allows them to contribute more to industry and maybe even create jobs. Simple as that. But not really. Let's take a deeper look.
