      8. Bipartisan internationalist consensus from FDR to Obama is: alliances, international organizations, & trade deals. Trump opposes

      9. Trump wants to replace bipartisan internationalist consensus with policy of bilateral deal making. He needs to break up existing system.

      10. Under current internationalist consensus, USA is bulwark of global capitalist order. Trump wants USA to give that up & be a free agent.

      11. Trump is right in seeing Brexit as a parallel -- that was the UK becoming free agent.

      12. The gamble of Trump & Brexit is that as free agents USA & UK can get better deals than as part of international order. A big gamble.

      13. Trump's thinking on all this is pre-World War II & even older. Mercantilism.

      14. One big problem Trump will face is that American capitalism is intertwined in a global trade chain. Hard to see how trade war would work

      15. By "Trump" it should be clear I mean not just Trump but people whispering in his ears, especially Bannon & Miller.

      16. Big open question is how do leaders of American capitalism, so dependent on trade, react to a president that wants to undermine system?

      17. It's interesting all this is happening in transition period. I.E. before Trump has to deal with actual government & bureaucracy.

      18. Trump (and I suspect people around him like Bannon) are trying to chart a course before bureaucracy can start stonewalling them.

          19. The rigmarole about Secretary of State fits into the idea that the Trump inner circle is afraid their agenda will be curtailed by gov't

          I might say heedless, rather than headless. Question is: thrashing cluelessly? Or consciously pursuing incredibly stupid policy?
