Trump's America? Trump's World?

Online

Donald Trump’s withdrawal from international commitments may not make America “great again” but rather isolated, voiceless, polarized, poorer and passed over by history. We will look at global threats that may depress Trump’s America if he undermines the prudent U.S. geopolitical principles of deterrence, leadership, reciprocity and openness. We’ll also speculate on what motivates those who lobby for nationally self-destructive policies.
