You say as though the attitudes presented by Donald Trump are not emblematic of centuries of American exceptionalism and white supremacist christian nationalism. Donald is not the first fascist in America. Nor is he the first American to believe that America is the protagonist nation of the world and has the absolute authority to do what it pleases and harm whoever it chooses.
Trump is a manifestation of American arrogance. He falls perfectly in line with the same ultra nationalist dogma that has plagued the nation since at least the time of Reagan, who was himself standing in the ideological shadow of Jim Crow and the confederacy. Trump did not just walk into office. He was elected. Millions of people support the exact arrogance and egotism he espouses. They support his claims of American exceptionalism. They voted him in on a platform of global American power, of the power to weaponize cruelty and suffering on anyone who falls outside the categories of white, cisgender/heterosexual, American, and Christian. Those who voted for him live and breathe American arrogance, and he is an endless supply of it.
Well said. On top of all that, he is the President of the United States of America engaging in that position's role as leading representative in the country's interactions on the global stage. Like it or not, that makes his arrogance American arrogance.
He doesn't speak for me.
He does though, it’s our problem even if we fucking hate it (which we certainly do!)
Actually, in every definition of the word, on the international stage, he most definitely speaks for you.
If not, please go ahead and overturn the tariff bullshit.
