Donald J. Trumps' presidential aspiration is based on the claim that he intends to make America great again. What seems to be happening with his campaign, however, is that he is increasingly bringing America into disrepute. This is no where more glaring than the fact that the British parliament is going to be debating a petition intended to keep Trump out of that country. America probably has a closer relationship with no other nation than it does with Britain. If Britain is debating the possibility of not admitting one who aspires to be the President of the United States into the country, it shows that Trump's aspirations are already beginning to isolate America. Granted that the debate in the British parliament will not result in barring Trump from Britain, the very fact that it is being carried out is enough rebuke to his aspirations and a sign that his idea of making America great is toxic.
Contrast that with the wave of enthusiasm that was at play when Barack Obama was running for President. Compare the waves of crowd he drew during his visit to Europe and the fact that he has succeeded in reversing an economy that was going into the doldrums when he came to power, and you would see that Trump's claim that he would make America great again will actually regress America's status - first around the world and then at home. It is perhaps only in Trump's dictionary that being great clearly means being reviled.
