In 2018, President Trump made it explicitly clear that America rejects the ideology of globalism and is focused on patriotism. Yuval Noah Harari spoke out against the President’s focus on American nationalism, calling his election a “death blow” to globalism and critiquing the idea of having to choose between patriotism and global cooperation. Cid Lazarou has referred to globalism as a product of Marxist thinking, discussing how it decimates culture and tradition, and works against social and national identity.
President Trump’s 2018 comment about America being governed by Americans and rejecting globalism aligns with his subsequent announcements to demolish the deep state, expel warmongers, and drive out globalists. However, reports show that some people are planning to restrict his power if he becomes president again. Molly Hemingway says the left is considering ways to prevent Trump from taking control, framing it as a good thing because it will stop Trump from undermining the country. Sean Davis believes that the left is planning to do what they have accused Trump of doing by accusing him of doing it.
President Trump has promised to clean up and dismantle what he deems to be a “corrupt globalist establishment” and will lead to change in the Pentagon, State Department, and the National Security Establishment, ensuring millions of dollars are not made by government officials post-retirement and the continuation of corrupt lobbying practices.
