Policy Series 2021-17: The Trump Presidency and U.S. Workers: “America First” or America Diminished?

March 30, 2021March 25, 2021 By Elizabeth McKillen

When the Associated Press projected Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential race on November 7, I joined in the collective sigh of relief that issued forth from millions of Americans who had come to view Donald Trump as an existential threat to democracy.  Yet, like many, I remained puzzled that Trump still…

Policy Series 2021-16: Revisiting Historical Legacies of US Policy in the Middle East: The Trump Administration

March 25, 2021March 26, 2021 By James R. Stocker

It may not have been Donald Trump speaking, but it was perhaps the best possible statement of the case for his achievements in the Middle East.  Addressing the Republican National Convention on August 25, 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke in front of a backdrop of the old city of Jerusalem, praising Trump’s “America…

Policy Series 2021-15: U.S.-UK Relations in the Time of Trump

March 23, 2021March 23, 2021 By Kathleen Burk

In November 2016, I wrote an essay for H-Diplo on the possible impact of the Trump administration on U.S.-UK relations.[1]  My first paragraph included the following sentences: “If Trump himself knows what he truly plans to do – as opposed to what he would truly like to do – he has hidden it from the…

Policy Series 2021-14: Joe Biden and the Gibbon Paradox

March 18, 2021March 21, 2021 By H-Diplo

In early March 2018, evangelical leaders from around the world descended on Charlotte, North Carolina, for the funeral of the renowned preacher, Reverend Billy Graham.  President Donald J. Trump joined the mourners.  While there, Trump had a face-to-face conversation with Graham’s grandson, Edward.  Graham the younger was an Army Ranger and had served for sixteen…

Policy Series 2021-13: Trump’s Foreign Policy Legacy

March 12, 2021March 6, 2021 By Joshua Busby, Jonathan Monten

Four years ago, we wrote that Donald Trump’s presidency could spell the end of an already weakened liberal international order.[1] Now that the Trump presidency is in the rearview mirror, what can we make of what transpired for U.S. foreign policy and the global order?  In this essay, we review what we wrote four years…

Policy Series 2021-12: What Nationalism Ended Up Looking Like

March 11, 2021March 6, 2021 By Thomas W. Zeiler

After a year of Donald Trump in the White House, and drawing on the lessons of the turn inward (by Herbert Hoover and even Franklin D. Roosevelt) during the Great Depression era, I argued that his hyper-nationalism in trade policy was inimical to U.S. economic and diplomatic interests.[1]  His vocal and staged protectionism shirked decades…

Policy Series 2021-11: “America First” Meets Liberal Internationalism

March 5, 2021March 4, 2021 By Stephen Chaudoin, Helen V. Milner, Dustin Tingley

Candidate Trump, and then President Trump, advocated for a dramatic change in the direction of American foreign policy, which he labelled “America First.” His vision stood in stark contrast to the liberal internationalism (LI) pursued by most presidents since World War II.  For Trump, unilateralism would replace multilateralism; retrenchment would replace global engagement; pursuit of…

Policy Series 2021-10: More of the Same, and Worse: Revisiting Donald Trump and the Limits of International Law

March 4, 2021February 26, 2021 By Matthew Evangelista

By the time he lost his bid for reelection, President Donald Trump had fulfilled many of his campaign promises regarding international law.  On trade policy, he abolished the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and replaced it with a revised U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), and he launched a tariff war with China in hopes of making…

Policy Series 2021-9: Making Trump History

February 25, 2021October 2, 2021 By Martin Conway

Historians seem to have a problem with Trump.  I do not mean by this the dominance of partisan hostility to Trump in the ranks of the historical profession, or even the way in which many historians have been offended by the way in which the president has treated history as a resource to be exploited,…

Policy Series 2012-8: 2016 Revisited: The Trump Presidency in Perspective

February 18, 2021February 11, 2021 By T.G. Otte

Unlike, perhaps, any previous occupant of the Oval Office, the election of the 45th president of the United States in 2016 triggered intense soul-searching in America, and this introspective exercise is likely to continue for some time yet.  Unfit for office in the first place, far from being tamed by the weight of his responsibilities,…
