China, Russia and Germany are all built around a tribal identity, which isn't very interesting to others. You don't see Africans wearing T-shirts with the Chinese or German flag. But all over the world many people wear T-shirts with the US flag, because they like the ideals of the American Revolution.Yes, it created an American nation governed by American principles and ideals, an American flag and American boundaries that have always been viewed as something of value that's worth defending by American citizens. Are you white or some other special color? Do you know any Trump supporters personally or are you as clueless about them as most blue supporters still seem to be these days? Me, I'm a Republican voter who doesn't have a major issue with Trump, his personality, personal antics or his policies. I mean, I heard/seen Democratic supporters whining and crying and blaming me about the issues related to them for years.
Neoconservatives and Progressives such as yourself differ in the interpretation, but both stand for the ideals of the American Revolutionaries. Trumpists don't. In this sense, Trumpists are most un-American creatures possible.
One could even argue the ideal Trumpist society is Belarus. It's almost 100% white (apart from a few Tatars and some Chechen refugees). It's ruled by an autocratic president. Its central bank is directly responsible to the president. A white version of North Korea, as some guy on Personality Cafe has called it.
