"Only I can fix it," is something you should never hear from a candidate for the Presidency. And certainly never hear from the candidate of a notionally conservative party.
The Republican party now revolves around the Great & Powerful Trump, with the consequence that its principles and ideals have been redefined and besmirched by him.
1. Perhaps you didn't recognize because I misquoted him. My mistake!
If you'll do a web search for "I alone can fix it" you'll hundreds of hits to confirm it. (Warning: most hits will be for a book with that title, which came from the Trump quote.)
2. I've heard Trump's nonsensical message about somehow making an already great county great "again." You don't *actually* believe that politicians' mottos mean anything, do you?
3. Your slur on people who dislike Trump, that they're "very quick to twist words," was uncalled for. It's not worth a response. Just keep on telling yourself, "Everyone who dislikes Trump is an idiot (or moron or 'loser' or whatever, dude)."
4. I notice that you only told me about your poor memory. What you *didn't* do is defend Trump against my claim that he's redefined and besmirched traditional conservative values. Care to take a stab at that one?

I don't ever recall Trump saying "only I can fix it." Can you please offer evidence?
Trump's message is Make AMERICA Great Again, but people who dislike him are very quick to twist words.

Here's a quote from The Atlantic: "I am your voice," said Trump. "I alone can fix it. I will restore law and order." See https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/07/trump-rnc-speech-alone-fix-it/492557/
