TRUMP: 'I'm a nationalist and a globalist. I'm both'...

[William Tell]

Craig Fuller, who served eight years in former President Ronald Reagan’s White House, said in an interview: “The trouble here is I don’t see how you get a course correction when there isn’t a course. It’s just erratic.


“He needs to go look at the two factions inside the White House and get rid of one of them. You can’t operate that way in the White House.”


Mr. Trump dismissed talk about a split inside his White House between aides with a nationalist or globalist orientation. “Hey, I’m a nationalist and a globalist,” he said. “I’m both. And I’m the only one who makes the decision, believe me.”

He goes both ways. Not surprising.

What do you really think he meant? Was he using the word globalist in the noun or adjective form?

glob·al·ist

ˈɡlōbəlist/

noun

noun: globalist; plural noun: globalists

• 1.
  a person who advocates the interpretation or planning of economic and foreign policy in relation to events and developments throughout the world.
  
  • a person or organization advocating or practicing operations across national divisions.
  
  
  
  
  

adjective

adjective: globalist

• 1.
  relating to or advocating the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis.

Do you think there can be globalist spectrum, or is globalism binary? Would you prefer someone who is a globalist, but NOT a nationalist? Do you think somebody can be both a globalist and a nationalist?

Right, exactly, I think you have it.

Trump wants to work within the global economy and make trade deals with other nations, while keeping US national interests first.

The people that those of us around here refer to as "globalists" generally tend to put America last.

FTFY:

[enhanced_deficit]

Looking at Trump's fakish bombing of Syrian runway, question could be asked is he now adopting dumb Syria policy of DGP & neocons / is he also being bought by DGP's PSOs (Political slave owners)?






Or is there a difference between their Syria policy?

Hope this is not the case in the long run and he learns from early blunders.


BTW, that cartoon needs to be updated to remove Bannon and Haley given recent developments.

Nikki Haley needs State Department approval for future statements: Report

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson wants U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley to run her remarks by State Department officials "if they are on a high-profile issue such as Syria, Iran, Israel-Palestine, or the D.P.R.K."

Yes. Clearly we should elect people who are both interventionists and non-interventionists. That would bring us closer to where we need to be.

[William Tell]

Ha Ha a 1 star rating from someone in denial.

[phill4paul]

Yes. Clearly we should elect people who are both interventionists and non-interventionists. That would bring us closer to where we need to be.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to William Tell again. I can't give anybody reps tonight.

That he is the embodiment of Hegelian dialectic is not in Trump's favor ...

[Philmanoman]

It's a different kind of globalist though dudes.The best kind...
Economic globalist

He also supports both a one-state solution and a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.

fake news.

[Jan2017]

"Globalism refers to a group of ideologies that advocate the concept of globalization."

"It tends to advocate for such policies as increases in immigration, free trade, lowering tariffs, interventionism
and global governance."

"It is typically viewed as opposite of nationalism, and has become increasingly divisive in politics in many developed countries, such as the United States"

"Professor James defines globalism at least in its more specific use ... as the [dominant ideology] and subjectivity associated with different historically-dominant formations of global extension."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalism

* Prof. Paul James is Professor of Globalization and Cultural Diversity at Western Sydney University, and Director of the Institute for Culture and Society where he has been since 2014. He is a writer on globalization, sustainability, and social theory.

Economic globalist

So more like free market globalism?

[undergroundrr]

Economic globalism is fantastic. https://mises.org/blog/economic-glob...-globalization

Economic nationalism, political globalism and political nationalism are terrible. One should run from them.

Anyhow, the idea that trump is 1/3 to 1/2 right is reason to rejoice. Quite an improvement in the first 100 days.

Perhaps Trump is not prepared to be President?

Once Rand dropped out, who would you have preferred?

childish picture

More pile on with the gang, I see. Takes a lot of courage to do that. Applause all around.

Trump axed the Trans Pacific Partnership on the first day. THAT is winning. A whole ton of regulations have been killed too. Not to mention Gorsuch being nominated and now in the Supreme Court. That's also winning. I am also very hopeful for complete revamps of the current multilateral trade deals, or getting out of those where that is not possible. That would also be winning for our country.

Trump has been far from perfect and God knows there has been plenty of threads pointing out where he was wrong. That's good. But, these broad brush threads posting the cutesy pictures are childish and ignorant.

Do tell. Who would you have preferred win the Presidency after Rand dropped out and please provide specifics as to how you believe they would have benefited our country and Americans' liberty.

[LibertyEagle]

What part of "No One But Paul" don't you understand?

What part of, he dropped out of the race and pretty early on, do you not understand?

If you are upset about that, perhaps you should take your temper tantrum to Rand.
