It turns out that going from America First to America Last has real world consequences.
President Joe Biden’s rejection of President Donald Trump’s approach to national security and foreign policy has created devastating harm to American interests abroad and our security at home.
Trump’s main goal was to prioritize our interests, thereby leveraging American power to deliver greater global stability, certainty and relative peace. Biden prioritizes multilateralism and globalism, reversing Trump-era gains and introducing increasing chaos, instability, uncertainty and conflict.
President Trump’s critics often complained his America First policies were damaging our alliances and rewarding our enemies. The exact opposite was true: like President Ronald Reagan before him, Trump delivered peace through strength. Biden has diluted American power, and as a result, our allies no longer trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. American weakness always invites the wolves, and the wolves have returned.
Let’s recall where we were just one year ago.
The Biden administration is hell-bent on reversing many of President Trump’s stunning achievements.
On the surface, the Biden administration’s destructive path doesn’t make sense. But to them, it’s not about rational policy. Instead, it’s about redistributing everything American: our power, wealth, resources, military and diplomatic advantage, economic competitiveness, leadership, our borders, and yes, our unique exceptionalism.
