In the post-[[Cold War]] [[unipolar]] world, the concept of American exceptionalism was hijacked by neoconservatives and globalists to exempt the United States from [[international law]].  The U.S. appointed itself in a [[neoliberal]] "[[rules based order]]" as the "world's policeman", making up the rules as it suited itself to benefit [[Western alliance|Western]] [[globalist]]s, [[oligarch]]s, and multinational corporate interests, often in violation the Charter of the [[United Nations]] and other treaty obligations.  No single nation or bloc of nations could challenge American military or economic power.  Much of the rest of the world - even trading partners, recipients of foreign aid, and countries under U.S. defense alliances such as [[NATO]], viewed the excuse of "American exceptionalism" to exempt itself from laws other nations were bound to respect, as an attitude or form of "supremacy."

[[Donald Trump]] is the first president in our modern history simply to shrug off the notion of American exceptionalism: "I don’t like the term,” Trump said at a [[Texas]] campaign rally in 2015. “I don’t think it’s a very nice term. ‘We’re exceptional, you’re not.’”<ref>[https://thefloutist.substack.com/p/psychology-and-disorder "Psychology and disorder."
