The term was created in 1979[1] during a time in which the United States was suffering from a worsening economy at home marked by high unemployment and inflation.[2] Usually when the term is used, people use it as a reflection to the Presidency of Ronald Reagan.[3][4]
Since Reagan left office, the slogan has been used by a variety of politicians. Donald Trump trademarked the slogan and used it in his own presidential campaign.[5]
