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.
