Bill Clinton says Trump's campaign slogan is racist
He used it repeatedly while running for president in 1991 and 1992,
declaring at one Little Rock, Ark., event, "Together, we can make America
great again."
Former President Bill Clinton might want to keep the racism accusations to
himself from now on -- after ripping Donald Trump for a slogan he's used
repeatedly since his 'Comeback Kid' days.
The 42nd president on Wednesday, while stumping in Orlando for Hillary
Clinton, suggested Trump’s campaign rallying cry, “Make America Great
Again,” is racist code.
“I’m actually old enough to remember the good old days, and they weren’t
all that good in many ways,” Clinton said. “That message where ‘I’ll
give you America great again’ is if you’re a white Southerner, you know
exactly what it means, don’t you?”

The crowd roared as Clinton continued. “What it means is ‘I’ll give you
an economy you had 50 years ago, and I’ll move you back up on the social
totem pole and other people down,’” he said.
The problem is, Clinton himself has used the same phrase several times in
the past.
