Trump to declare 'New American Moment' but Hillary Clinton declared one first

President Donald Trump seems to have borrowed the catchphrase for his first State of the Union — a “New American Moment” — from an unlikely source: Hillary Clinton.

Clinton, whom Trump defeated in the 2016 presidential election, used the phrase in a 2010 speech to herald the foreign policy she was pursuing on behalf of President Barack Obama as secretary of state.

That “new American moment” was “a moment when our global leadership is essential, even if we must often lead in new ways,” she said.

By contrast, Trump’s “new American moment” is a distillation of the success he believes he’s had on the domestic front.

“This is our New American Moment,” Trump will say after lauding his signature tax cut law, according to advance excerpts of his speech released by the White House. “There has never been a better time to start living the American dream.”
