To me it's a political slogan drawn up by smart political ad people. It worked well in 2016 for President Trump as it appealed to people who felt left behind or out of things and it got them out to vote for him. It's not anything more menacing than "I like Ike" or "Now more than Ever."
In politics today I would question how much is really a candidates words and thoughts, and how much is material from the political equivalent of script writers. Campaigns seem more like Hollywood entertainment these days, a cross between a movie and the WWE.
I'm wont be surprised if folding metal chairs come into play in debates next.

I thought it was a scheme to move merch. Follow the money.
I would not think that anyone would complain that they're not getting enough of the unfiltered Trump, probably just the opposite
I've wondered sometimes if what we see in the tweets is raw or somebody helps amp it up for him. None of us really know, he may have somebody that he talks to that helps him.
Slogan - yeah.
Seems to me it grew in response to Obama's "apology tours" where he accepted blame for America for all the world's ills. That didn't sit well with a great many people.
It grew out of Trump's perception that the US was getting screwed in international trade deals; that the "shadow government" and the Swamp were content to see America as a "super power" that had had its time and wasn't deserving of continuing on in the same way.
It was a response to Obama's contention that "America's best days are behind it"; that "the 1% GDP is the 'new normal'"; that America's days as a manufacturing powerhouse were over.
Trump's response to all the negativism of the Obama years; to the slanders of the Middle Class blue collar workers in Flyover Country; to the prospect of economic stagnation and mounting taxes and the idea that Americans should hang their heads when facing the rest of the world was to deny all that and fight for a return to economic prosperity via better trade deals; reduced taxes; more incentives for manufacturing to stay here and stemming the bleeding of tax money to illegal aliens by - preferably - stopping them from flooding into the country. All these things struck a chord with a pretty large segment of the US electorate that were tired of being told they either have to fall in line with Democrats' definitions of "tolerance" and "victimhood" or be vilified as race traitors, racists, or "haters" on no evidence whatsoever.
So, yeah, I wasn't thrilled with Trump but Make America Great Again - especially if it drives the Democrats bat crap crazy.
