Dan Scavino posted this to one of of his social media platforms.. 🤔 It certainly explains why Trump is featured in this video .

Below I posted where that phase originated from & the meaning behind it..

On April 23, 1910, Theodore Roosevelt delivered a speech titled "Citizenship in a Republic" at the Sorbonne in Paris, which is popularly known as "The Man in the Arena." The speech was part of a larger trip to Europe that also included visits to Vienna, Budapest, and Oslo. The phrase "the man in the arena" refers to someone who is heavily involved in a situation that requires courage, skill, or tenacity, as opposed to someone sitting on the sidelines and watching.

The speech was quoted by Richard Nixon in his victory speech on November 6, 1968, and in his resignation address to the nation on August 8, 1974.Dr. Brené Brown paraphrased it in a TED Talk and used Roosevelt's phrase daring greatly as the title of one of her books.The speech attempted to unite morality with politics, and right with might.
