The End of a Dream

Donald Trump and the 250th anniversary of the USA

The United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of its founding in 2026. Andreas G. Weiss already astutely outlined the profound erosion of American society in his 2019 book Donald Trump: Du sollst keine anderen Götter neben mir haben (Donald Trump: Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me). This has become obvious in 2026 with Trump’s second term. His new book tells the story of the “American Dream” as the religious-political myth of a “holy nation” and how this dream is shattering before our eyes. “Donald Trump did not destroy the America of illusions – he exposed it. Perhaps the awakening will begin at the end of the dream – and with it a new search for meaning.”
