“Just imagine if terrorists turned El Paso & San Diego into ghost towns ... How long would the American government tolerate that?” #Netanyahu said [echoing #Trump’s #nationalist #isolationist rhetoric], shaking his fist in emphasis. “Yet #Israel has been tolerating this intolerable situation for almost a year. Well, I’ve come here today to say: Enough is enough.”

So far #Trump’s “press event” is him using the cameras to deliver a nationally broadcast stump speech.

Unsurprisingly, he’s spouting #lies. Bunch of #isolationist, #nationalist, #racist crap.

Also completely fabricating an impending 1929 #economy.

Saying #KamalaHarris is “100% the border czar” - false.

Claiming he prefers running against #Harris to Biden.

All backwards looking “blah blah blah wouldn’t have happened” & “blah blah blah wouldn’t have happened” if he was president.

The letter also contrasts #KamalaHarris’s record w/the #isolationist inclinations of #Republicans, #Trump & #JDVance.

“I have been impressed w/her strong, #principled leadership on the #world stage & her track record of advancing American interests, our #values, & our #alliances,” said Donilon, #NationalSecurity adv under Obama. “I have been fortunate enough to serve 4 US presidents & believe that the American people should be confident & proud to have VP #Harris as our next commander in chief”

While #Biden has so far avoided naming #Trump during his time abroad, he has increasingly warned of the dangers posed by the kind of #authoritarian & #isolationist impulses the fmr president has embraced in his push to return to the #WhiteHouse. #POTUS, who has said in the past that America’s very #democracy is at stake in the coming #election, …[has juxtaposed] #DDay’s 80th anniversary to sound the alarm about the advance of #antidemocratic forces across the globe.

#Trump said he”just liked the expression" #AmericaFirst & denied he’s an #isolationist. His ignorance of #history & #ForeignPolicy has led him to denounce wars that began during other president's terms….But to the extent he has a philosophy about #interventionism…, it's #America should "win" wars & then "take the resources”[ #WarProfiteering]. Oh, & allies should pay protection money if they want the #UnitedStates to adhere to its #treaty commitments [aka a #MafiaProtectionRacket / #extortion].

My take is a little different, @Nonilex

#DonaldTrump knew EXACTLY what the historical significance of the term "#AmericaFirst" was the moment he started saying it, knowing FULL WELL the #AmericaFirstCommittee was the name of the #RightWing #isolationist movement. He is one of those that happen to be more than just a little bit taken w/ that #strongman fella from Germany.

Donald #Trump had no idea about the #historical significance of the term "#AmericaFirst" when he first started saying it, believing erroneously that he'd thought up the slogan himself even though he'd no doubt heard it somewhere during his 77 yrs. Before the US entered the war the #AmericaFirstCommittee was the name of the #RightWing #isolationist movement & many of its members also happened to be just a little bit taken w/that #strongman fella from Germany.

The academic, Vladimir Zharikhin, called for #Russia to “continue to facilitate the coming to power of #isolationist #RightWing forces in #America,” “enable the #destabilization of Latin American countries & the rise to power of #extremist forces on the far left & far right there,” as well as facilitate “the restoration of European countries’ sovereignty by supporting parties dissatisfied w/ economic pressure from the #US.”

The doc for the 1st time provides ofcl confirmation & codification of what many in the Moscow elite say has become a hybrid #war against the West. #Russia is seeking to subvert Western support for #Ukraine & disrupt domestic #politics in the #UnitedStates & European countries, thru #propaganda campaigns supporting #isolationist & #extremist policies….It is also seeking to refashion #geopolitics, drawing closer to #China, #Iran & #NorthKorea in an attempt to shift the current balance of #power.

to be clear, the #US has been #isolationist throughout much (most) of its history, and when not overtly isolationist, #neutral long after they ought to have been (viz. World War 1 and World War 2). They only became "the world's policeman" after the Second World War. A return to isolationism is sad, but not unexpected.

#Trump’s hands-off approach to the bloody #MiddleEast conflict reflects the profound #AntiInterventionist [#isolationist] shift he has brought about in the #Republican Party over the past 8 yrs & has been colored by his feelings about #Netanyahu, whom he may never forgive for congratulating President #Biden for his 2020 victory.

"One of life's most underappreciated talents is to know when it's time to move on to life's next chapter," he said in prepared remarks obtained by The AP. "So I stand before you today...to say that this will be my last term as #Republican leader of the #Senate."
His decision punctuates a powerful #ideological transition underway in the #RepublicanParty, from #RonaldReagan's brand of traditional #conservatism & strong international #alliances, to the fiery, often #isolationist #populism of Trump.

…His latest round of pro-Russian cheerleading (is) … now against a dramatically changed backdrop. The #Russia-Ukraine war is entering its 3rd year, w/no signs of abating. #Putin critics are calling the death of #Navalny — who had survived a previous Russian attempt to poison him — a #murder. & under #Trump’s leadership, the #Republican Party has drifted in a remarkably #isolationist direction on #ForeignPolicy, w/ #HouseRepublicans currently holding up much-needed #aid to #Ukraine.
