One under-acknowledged reason why the Helsinki press conference provoked such an epic freakout was Trump’s implicit repudiation of American exceptionalism. I explain in this column:https://spectator.us/2018/07/trump-betrays-the-elite-sense-that-the-us-is-always-pure-and-democracy-loving/ …

I don't agree with a lot of it, but this piece is interesting and touches on similar themes. (I prefer framing Trump not as a radical departure but just another manifestation of slow, inevitable decline)https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/07/23/rip-american-exceptionalism-1776-2018/ …

It's possible to separate the American Individuals' idea of exceptionalism, and apologizing for it even from a foreign policy standpoint, from recent FP actions of elite US politicians. Trump has championed the first & challenged the second. The elites would prefer the opposite.
