Trump is an Anti-Globalist and a U.S. protectionist
Here's
the crucial paragraph: "For many decades, we've enriched foreign
industry at the expense of American industry; subsidized the armies of
other countries, while allowing for the very sad depletion of our
military. We've defended other nations' borders while refusing to defend
our own; and spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's
infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay."The
amazing thing about this litany is that most of the policies Trump
criticizes had been peripheral to our recent political battles, at least
until he came along. Indeed, the only one that had raised any heat--the
"depletion" of the military--is a political fiction. The others,
though, have been core assumptions of the leadership in both parties.
And Trump is right. It may be time to test them and see if they still
apply.
