Some people here maybe thought this was a joke. I posted this same item 6 weeks ago, but maybe so much was going on, I didn't get much of a response. Maybe because to get to the important part, you have to listen to Benito Mussolini stumble through his difficult to understand broken English.
This is a Fox Movietone (ya, can you believe that irony) video clip from 1929. At around the 1:00 mark, he says the only really clear English in his whole speech "Make America Great". I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true.

I can't believe the lack of response. Sorry for my type-o in the OP

(29,692 posts)3. It's pretty amazing, isn't it. Trump either dug deep
or knew the phrase off the top of his head....I'm betting the latter and that is his bedtime reading.
