Borrowing From Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Says We're 'Stronger Together' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC In a notable moment from a Texas rally, Donald Trump echoed a phrase that many would remember from Hillary Clinton's campaign: "Stronger Together." This statement resonated with many as it seemed to retrieve the sentiment from the 2016 election cycle, where unity and strength in community were pivotal themes. During the rally, Trump expressed his affection for the state and its people, emphasizing a great relationship that he claimed was getting stronger together. The Republican National Committee quickly capitalized on Trump's wording, referencing it on Twitter and highlighting its familiarity. Clinton, known for her sharp retorts, responded on social media, urging for a broader conversation around key issues like healthcare, tax reform, and voting rights, linking back to her original campaign messages. The discussion following Trump's rally delved into the implications of a sitting president adopting a slogan closely associated with a political opponent. Analysts Kimberly Atkins and Anita Kumar noted that this blending of messages might suggest that Trump is still living in the campaign mentality of 2016, indicating a longing for that dynamic rivalry, even if unspoken.
