| Summary/Abstract |
Many Americans have recoiled at President Donald Trump’s “America first” foreign policy. [1] Critics charge that his populist brand of statecraft undermines the United States’ role [2]as an exceptional nation [2] destined to bring political and economic liberty to a waiting world. Trump exhibits isolationist, unilateralist, and protectionist instincts; indifference to the promotion of democracy; and animosity toward immigrants. How could Americans elect a president so at odds with what their country stands for?
