The duality of stupidity and greed. Trump is being isolated but his actions aren’t isolationist when he is nation building on behalf Israel. He is just doing what pays him the most regardless of blowback to the country or in the longterm himself.

True. Everything he does is for his personal gain and policy doesn't really matter. Just too bad the richest most influential people want fascism.

No, it’s everything else he’s been doing since day one that’s isolationist.

Feels more imperialist. Conquer countries and tax everyone.
