How would he revive it? By putting ‘America First’. The ‘American Dream’ and ‘America First’ are two of the most loaded phrases in America today – and also two of the most misunderstood. As divides within America widen, Sarah Churchwell looks to the past to reveal what the surprising history of these two phrases can tell us about today.
