The thing is that he isn't speaking to the Middle East. He's speaking to his voters. And unfortunately a wide part of his electorate is completely ignorant about matters outside of the US, yet absolutely convinced of America's Manifest Destiny - this is where this venomous American Exceptionalism is coming from.
Too many people live in the Faux News bubble and don't even realize that they're fed ridiculous lies. Add in the "Librul Media" meme for self-inoculation against unpleasant facts and doubts, and there you go. Heck, it took FOUR YEARS before people were realizing that Iraq wasn't all that hunky-dory after all.
It's sad.
