America and Americans have done great things but as a whole has never been a great country, IMO. Segments of the population have done quite well at various times in history but at no time has everyone been on equal footing.
So many have listed time periods where the only people who had free access to the economy were white, protestant, straight males. This a prime indication that the teaching of American History must expand beyond the Hillsdale College approved whitewashed alternative reality version so many are currently pushing
If I had to hazard a guess, Trump means the time of his youth, the 1950's-1960's
When will actual greatness be achieved...
When our schools are cathedrals of learning
When our healthcare is the best in the world, affordable, and accessible to everyone;
When citizens' chances of success no longer depend on their sex, their gender, their sexual orientation, their ethnicity, their religion, their connections, or zip code
When housing is safe and affordable for everyone
When healthy food is plentiful and affordable for everyone
When people are no longer gunned down in schools, stores, theatres, churches, their workplaces
When ideas are freely shared and books no longer banned
When the Bengals win a Super Bowl and the Reds win another World Series
There is far more to being great than economic success

Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
