Imperialism is the international projection of national sovereignty.
Globalism is transnational capital eroding national sovereignty around the world, including ours.
The two are not the same.https://spectator.us/2018/09/trumps-phony-anti-globalism/ …

Tbh, I don’t think the continuity with past administrations is a deliberate choice by Trump so much as if it is the natural result of not purging the entire State Dept, IC, & military top brass.

Foreign policy is one of those areas where Trump has good instincts, but is let down by his underlings. The challenge here is building up a crop of “America First” conservative foreign pol ppl; most of his choices at the time were Bush alumni & their ilk or moronic libertarians
