The End of the American Century
The inaugural address of Donald Trump did not contain the word justice or cooperation or ideals or morals or truth or charity. It has only one reference to freedom.
What it really means is America as a global model and guarantor of freedom and rule of law and fairness.
Trump ’s administration is the death knell of the American Century.
And wherever we may disengage around the world, we are never replaced by a better actor. The president’s vision of putting up our national drawbridge and hunkering down mirrors the transformation of Great Britain to Little England after the end of World War II. The American Century was a term of pride for many and it represented the flowering not only of American power but American values.
The American Century, RIP.

The country has diverged so far from what made it great that Trump supporters will look at what is written and insist it's more rants from a far left nut.
They don't even know what: guarantor of freedom, rule of law and fairness even means.
The most truly weird thing is they believe isolationism and protectionism will somehow bring us economic success.
