Absolutely. I've been saying that since 2016. The Atlantic even published an article on it after the election of 2016 (but I said it first!!). He is better organized this time, but his general tactics have not changed. - 1pg

Yeah, putting America First has no future. Citizens surely don't want that.

Just keep the same old system more or less rolling until we run out of the capacity to do so. The USA is usually on the losing side of treaties or trade deals. Trump will put America first by insisting on some benefit accrues to the USA before making the deal and it is expected that counter party is putting his country first as it should be.

Example - as he explained to the WEC - Make your products in the USA and you will receive the lowest corporate tax in the world (probably an exaggeration as there is some inconsequential government somewhere that has a lower tax rate.) Or make them elsewhere and pay a tariff for access to the greatest market available.

And no, buying "friends" is not a benefit as a general policy although it is sometimes necessary.
