Reviews
"Exceptional Me is academic research at its best-rigorous, relevant, readable. Gilmore and Rowling's expansive and detailed analysis demonstrates just how uncommon Donald Trump's discourse about American exceptionalism has been. These pages lay bare what a Narcissist-in-Chief sounds like and how inconsistent with the American presidency that sound is." * Kevin Coe, coauthor of The Ubiquitous Presidency and The God Strategy *
Exceptional Me is an outstanding addition to the literature on American Exceptionalism. Gilmore and Rowling's research is provocative and insightful. If you want to understand the presidency of Donald Trump and how he modified American Exceptionalism for our current era then this book is a must-read. * Jason A. Edwards, Bridgewater State University, co-editor of The Rhetoric of American Exceptionalism *
