Trump's declaration that he'd meet Rouhani "without preconditions" once again reflects his departure from traditional American Exceptionalism dogma. He doesn't buy the mythology which says unconditional meetings violate America's sacred honor. To him it's just another transaction

Trump does seem to have gone further though. Correct me if I’m wrong, but as president Obama never publicly offered to meet with the leader of Iran

If anyone can find any peer reviewed papers showing that the whole concept of meetings with preconditions tangibly gives better results i would be interested. There has to be a way to use wonkery to sink this concept i bet

he doesn’t repudiate American exceptionalism just because he packages and sells himself as Brand ‘President’ / Deal Maker. He’s utilizing mass media, to create this role, which you seem to be distributing out for everyone. Spectacle.
