    This is a very important insight I've tried to highlight at various points, but so many mainstream analysts seem to miss. Trump repudiating American Exceptionalism is a major shift, but it gets lost in the rest of the rancor and confusion https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/01/02/return-of-the-neocons/ …pic.twitter.com/HexKgqk27K

        He ran on this. He didn't stumble on to it. He is having to fight all the deepswamp making cash on #ForeverWar. Mattis. Tillerson, Kelly, and the others in the "save" America crew are actually just establishment flunkies wanting the status quo.

        Trump meets with leaders of other countries with respect. Everyone of them, in some way, represents their people. It’s not exceptional, it’s normal.

        I don't think Trump gives "exceptionalism" any thought. Might as well say he repudiated gobbledygook. He's smarter than people give him credit for.

        It's not that difficult to understand when all he cares about is being right...while the American people suffer. It's truly all about him - he's the big guy now. I have a toilet brush that bares his face. :)

        Bilateralism is also a repudiation of over 60 years of US trade orthodoxy. The post war model was multilateral agreements and institutions. Overall it been a success. Economies have grown worldwide but large swaths of populations have been left behind. He is Pat Buchanan.

        Interesting take, and this helps explain why I've leaned towards liking some of Trump's foreign policy, albeit he may be doing some of it for the wrong reasons.

        how is taking the lead on trying to get North Korea to denuke a repudiation of American exceptionalism? He didn't leave it to someone else, he did it because America is the only country that can

        Yup. BUT, he’s not nearly strong enough to withstand the bureaucracy and the power of establishment interventionists not just outside but inside his administration (people *he* chose).

        So in theory, he could be loyal to a certain dictator who probably speaks a Balto-Slavic language then, no? You could say that narrative isn't so far fetched, is it?

        Not sure I follow: MAGA and "America First" seem to be ideas of American exceptionalism. I'm just seeing that Trump believes he can cut deals which will alleviate the risk of expensive war.
