Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
I noticed that at the RNC convention in 2024, they started using the phrase "everyday" Americans instead of "ordinary" people.
"Ordinary" sounds demeaning when spoken by an elitist.
"Everyday" sounds respectful when spoken by someone who wants to represent them.

“You didn’t build that.”
What a narcissist. Gotta make it about him, so he throws in “yes we can”. POS.
This alien needs to get back on its spaceship and go back to whatever intergalactic planet it crawled out of. Serpent disguised as human....
What BS!
Same here, as I’m cautiously optimistic about the dthe direction of America, but Trump is only only one man in a sea of snakes.
Aye
It belongs to all citizens = We The People
