Ten years ago, then-businessman Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, slowly descended a golden escalator at his Trump Tower in New York City, waving at the crowd that had gathered to hear his remarks.
Nearby, Ivanka Trump, his first daughter, stood awaiting her father’s announcement that he was running for president during the 2016 election cycle with a slogan: Make America Great Again.

“Now he’s, like, the most consequential president in modern history,” Urban told the Washington Examiner. “The Donald Trump that came down that escalator is the same Donald Trump today, same values, same love for America, same passion to, you know, help American families and workers.

But a rare few actually can leave the White House saying they made things better, like Andrew Jackson, Ronald Reagan, and Teddy Roosevelt.”
