First of all, Biden has not even mentioned <em>&#8220;America First&#8221;<\/em> as any part of his campaign&#8217;s policy proposals. He has presented a <em>&#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/joebiden.com\/build-back-better\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Build Back Better<\/a><\/strong>&#8220;<\/em> plan that incorporates components of the classic <em>&#8220;Buy American&#8221;<\/em> concept that encourages domestic manufacturing, purchasing, and hiring. But that is in no related to Trump&#8217;s call to put <em>&#8220;America First,&#8221;<\/em> a slogan that he stole from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2017\/01\/trump-america-first\/514037\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pre-World War II Nazi appeasers<\/a><\/strong>, and which has been more recently <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/america-first-ku-klux-klan-slogan\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">adopted by the Ku Klux Klan<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s false complaint that Biden pinched his ideas is also absurd given that Trump characterizes the ideas as <em>&#8220;very radical left.&#8221;<\/em> So Trump is saying, in effect, that his own ideas are the sort of liberal doctrines that he also insists he opposes. And the only problem with Biden&#8217;s advocacy of these progressive policies is that he wouldn&#8217;t be able to implement them as well as Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, setting aside all of the preposterous political prattle that Trump is proposing, his core criticism that Biden snatched his phraseology is laughably fallacious. As noted above, The <em>&#8220;America First&#8221;<\/em> motto goes back at least 80 years. Neither can Trump take credit for <em>&#8220;Buy American.&#8221;<\/em> And what makes this all the more ludicrous is that this is not the first time Trump has claimed authorship of phrases that were coined many decades before. For instance, in the video below, Trump says that he personally came up with the phrase <em>&#8220;prime the pump.&#8221;<\/em> And even more absurd, he claimed to be the originator of the word <em>&#8220;fake&#8221;<\/em> when used to describe the media.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ya7NByuUlGI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>These are more than just conceited attempts to take credit for things he didn&#8217;t do (which is a common Trump pursuit). These are symptoms of a deeply malformed personality. He frequently claims that nobody ever heard of common things before he brought them to the world&#8217;s attention (executive orders, pandemics, Juneteenth, Abraham Lincoln being a republican, etc). Trump lives in what psychiatrist and author Robert Jay Lifton calls <em>&#8220;solipsistic reality&#8221;<\/em> (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/billmoyers.com\/story\/losing-reality-can-we-get-the-truth-back\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">in this must-read interview with bill Moyers<\/a><\/strong>) wherein for Trump there is no reality outside of his own experience of it.
