Trump will make American right

The anticipation has been one of the strengths of The Atlantic since its creation in 1857. This remarkable literary and political magazine, where the most prestigious writers of the moment write, has turned its website into a very dynamic place for reflection and debate. In 2024, it crossed the symbolic mark of one million subscribers in its digital and print versions. Founded by a group of writers in Boston, a few years before the Civil War, the magazine set out to be the “organ of no party,” but the spokesperson for the “American idea.” The publication of the first texts by Mark Twain, war reports by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” (a vibrant defense of non-violence, 1963) do not deny this ideal. While the magazine has rarely supported a candidate for president, it has taken a stand against Donald Trump three times, exposing the danger he represents. The Atlantic has even become a sort of bête noire for the Republican president, just like the current editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. However, Goldberg was mistakenly included in a Signal loop where war plans were being exchanged, inadvertently offering him a huge scoop.
