MAGAA

What does MAGAA stand for?

Make America Great Again, Again

MAGAA is an acronym that stands for “Make America Great Again, Again.” This phrase was used as a battle cry for the 2020 re-election campaign of Republican President Donald Trump. You’ll often spot it on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, typically accompanied by a hashtag (#MAGAA).

The slogan has its roots in Trump’s 2016 campaign phrase, “Make America Great Again” (MAGA), a catchy slogan that was first popularized during Ronald Reagan’s 1980 Presidential run. The introduction of MAGAA to the public came on July 17, 2020, by then Vice President Mike Pence, and it gradually started to appear in Trump’s campaign speeches.

The extra “Again” in MAGAA signifies Trump’s aspiration for a second Presidential term, following his initial tenure where he asserts that he had already made America great again. Moreover, it’s a nod to his promise of economic recovery post the COVID-19 pandemic, asserting that he will make America economically great once more.

Mostly, you will see MAGAA being used on social media in posts by die-hard Trump fans who are either defending or praising him. However, it’s also used in a tongue-in-cheek manner by folks who are poking fun at Trump, his campaign promises, or his supporters.
