Donald Trump Is Changing What It Means To Be ‘American’
Donald Trump’s mythical narrative of decline and decay seeks to replace our national origin story: that this country is “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
In his third consecutive bid for the presidency, Donald Trump has cast the United States, yet again, as a nation in decline mired by chaos, violence, internal subversion and subjugation.
The U.S. is a “garbage can,” Trump says, that has been “invaded and conquered” by “murderers, rapists, and illegal criminals” and “vermin” with “bad genes” who are “poisoning the blood of our country” thanks to the machinations of his political foes ― “the enemy within.” Some of these enemies ― immigrants and citizens alike ― are “not people.”
