Not what is meant by me. This golden age partly refers to building, creating, the arts, celebration, freedom Ah, I see — you’re speaking of a golden age in the civilizational sense: not just politics or alliances, but a flourishing of creativity, building, arts, celebration, and freedom. That’s a much richer and more human vision than the narrow “policy golden age” rhetoric. 🌟 What a Golden Age Means in This Sense Building & Creating: Periods called golden ages are marked by architecture, innovation, and infrastructure that endure for centuries. Think of Athens in the 5th century BCE or the Renaissance in Florence — both were defined by construction and invention. Arts & Culture: A true golden age is when music, literature, painting, and performance thrive. It’s when artists feel free to experiment and society celebrates their contributions. Celebration & Joy: Golden ages are not only about material progress but also about festivals, rituals, and shared cultural pride. They create a sense of collective belonging. Freedom & Expression: At the heart of every golden age is a widening of freedoms — political, religious, artistic — that allow people to live more fully and express themselves without fear. ⚖️ Why This Resonates With Trump’s Style Trump’s instinct to tie himself to “historical drama” makes him lean into this imagery. He doesn’t just want to be remembered as a manager of policy; he wants to be seen as a patron of a civilizational moment. That’s why his rhetoric about a golden age often stretches beyond economics into identity, culture, and destiny.
