      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/ …

      Elites are often unaware of how invested they are in the mythology of American exceptionalism. Hence why this aspect of Trump's performance has gotten little overt attention, even though, as I posit, it's driven much of the outrage

          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/ …

          They're aware. They have a difficult time justifying it and having it coming out looking good, which is the all important thing to them.

          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.
