CT – Ryan Hoselton: Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama All Cited One Puritan Sermon to Explain America

„The rhetoric of “America First” can sometimes sound like American exceptionalism, but it offers a radically different vision of the nation.

America First largely dispenses with origin stories. Donald Trump is the first president since JFK to not use the phrase “city on a hill,” for example. In fact, in the 2016 election, the vast majority of the time this phrase appeared, it was used against Trump — including by the right.”
