Now that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is backing Donald Trump , he wants people to rethink the Republicans Make America Great Again slogan.

The long-shot presidential candidate turned to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday morning to share a lengthy reinterpretation of the right-wings motto , which has long been read as Trumps shorthand to turn back the clock on rights to reproductive freedom, the social welfare system, immigration access, and more.

In a post that proclaimed to detail what MAGA really means, RFK wrote, The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and womens rights, before offering a more generous interpretation of the phrase.

Claiming his definition of MAGA was one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today, the Kennedy family scion said. Make America Great Again recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself.
