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.”

"In this case, the solution is clear. We will have to leave borders behind and go for global unity when it comes to financial stability."

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.

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.

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

Ha Ha a 1 star rating from someone in denial.

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

 

[Philmanoman]

Economic globalist

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