For tariffs and undermining America’s alliances, Trump and right-wing media’s pitch to their followers is nationalistic. With promises to reverse globalization and restore a mythologized past, they sell a vision of booming domestic manufacturing and repatriated jobs prompting a reflowering of masculinity, calling it “America First.” But that’s just a marketing slogan. The impact of Trump’s hostility to the world isn’t deglobalization; it’s de-Americanization. Trump's archaic and reckless policies are causing the rest of the world to leave us behind. China is already filling in the vacuum we left behind and that will only continue. We'll be the ones stuck with the bad trade deals.
