Representative Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) made a bold declaration on social media, proclaiming that under a renewed Trump presidency, “common sense” will return to America and reinstate the nation as “the shining city on the hill.” In a fervent post on X (formerly Twitter), Donalds conveyed his confidence in Trump’s ability to lead the U.S. back to greatness, criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris and the current administration for allegedly “breaking” the nation.
“Under Trump, we will have common sense in America again,” Donalds wrote. “We will take our place again as the shining city on the hill... as the leader of the world... as the #1 nation... as the great experiment.” He ended his rallying message with a striking line aimed directly at the current administration: “Because Kamala BROKE IT… Trump will FIX IT… and we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
The congressman’s comments align with the GOP’s ongoing narrative that the Biden-Harris administration has weakened America’s global standing and domestic policies. Donalds, an outspoken supporter of Trump, often emphasizes the need for “common sense” governance and maintains that Trump’s policies exemplified this approach. In his social media post, he painted a clear picture of Trump’s potential return to power as a remedy for the perceived issues of the current administration.
Critics, however, were quick to dispute Donalds' comments. Several detractors argued that his portrayal of America’s current state is exaggerated and that Trump’s term in office had numerous controversies, from international tensions to social divides. “Making America great doesn’t mean dividing it,” responded one user, while others pointed out that under Trump, international alliances faced significant strain.
But to Donalds and Trump’s base, the message is clear: they view Trump’s previous administration as a time when America held stronger control over global and domestic matters. They argue that Trump’s policies prioritized America’s interests first and foremost. In particular, Donalds and other Trump allies frequently cite the former president’s approach to the economy, trade deals, and immigration as examples of effective leadership.
Donalds' support further emphasizes the divide between the Democratic and Republican visions for the nation. While he sees Trump as the person to revive “the great experiment” of American democracy, others remain skeptical about revisiting the former president’s leadership style. Donalds’ message, however, resonated with Trump’s supporters, who rallied behind his post, with many re-sharing the message across social media platforms.
As Trump continues his campaign for the upcoming presidential election, Donalds' endorsement aligns with the Trump camp’s strategy to emphasize their claim that current leadership has steered the nation off course. The concept of America as the “shining city on the hill” has long been a powerful ideal, and Donalds invokes it as a central theme to rally supporters, projecting a vision of a restored America under Trump’s leadership.
Whether this message resonates beyond Trump’s core supporters remains to be seen, but Donalds’ passionate support reinforces the unity within Trump’s base and the continued relevance of “Make America Great Again” among conservative voters. As the election approaches, these messages are likely to remain central to Trump’s platform, with his allies pushing hard to convince Americans that Trump, once again, represents the best path forward for the country.
