Build Back Better / myLot

So my question here is: Who thought of it first? Did the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, think it looked good on a hard-hat on a construction site recently? Or did the man who is challenging Trump's Presidency in the forthcoming US elections have first dibs on it? On a side note, have you noticed that the word "johnson" in the US has an alternative meaning, as does the word "trump" in the UK?

Answers on a virtual postcard please...

Politicians all over have been 'borrowing' slogans for years. Even "Make America Great Again,' while not a slogan at the time, was said by Reagan. Either way, I think Biden's campaign is done, so they can have whatever slogan they want. It's not going to matter. And besides, what does build back better even mean for a guy like Biden? He's been in politics for 47 years. If he hasn't been able to do it in 47 years, what makes anyone think he can do it in the next four? If he had all the ideas that would work, we'd be living in Biden's America already.

This is why I fail to fathom US politics - of all the candidates possible, a failed property developer has to run against what you imply is a washed-up "has-been". Surely there is someone better to pit against the incumbent, someone people might actually be able to get behind? That Buttigieg guy looks like a sharp cookie, would he not be able to give Trump a run for his money?

@pgntwo He can no longer be called a 'failed property developer.' He has a massive track record as PRESIDENT that he is running on. I'd list them, but what would be the point. But I'd be happy to elaborate if you wish.

@porwest No need to elaborate - the UK Prime Minister appears to be adopting a similar approach - in fact, Trump is probably a role model for many in the current UK Government, as far as I can see. And yes, as someone pointed out, Biden was guilty of plagiarism back in the late 80s,so I guess it is possible for the leopard to change its spots, over time. Let us see how Florida goes, this week.
