If you really want to make America great again, all you need to do is the following:

Require anyone who files for public office to take a polygraph test (just like many sensitive government positions). Annually require another exam questioning the truthfulness of the last 12 months, as well as promises for the next 12 months.

In addition, all members of the press should do the same. Then we will really find out who really is spreading fake news and who actually cares about America.
