Presumably, Trump has already trademarked "Make America Great Again," which is the most concise way to convey the point Hillary is making here. It's kind of puzzling, though, that Hillary would say this, given that she plans to present her candidacy as President Obama's third term. To suggest that America was great yesterday, and needs to be made great tomorrow (by electing Hillary), clearly implies that the country is, at present, not very great.

That's problematic, to say the least.
