That's exactly what it is, and I wish more people could transcend their partisan rancor to realize that Trump's policy on this is simply Obama's on steroids--plus outrageous rudeness to our allies. This isolationist instinct is entirely understandable:
Every foreign adventure we've gone on since 9/11 has been a disaster, and quite a few before that (Vietnam, say) left us with a sense that perhaps it's best if we just stay home. But the problem is that the analysis isn't fine enough: We aren't asking
why the disasters were such disasters, whereas NATO and the EU have been such a success. Or nothing the difference, which is significant. You don't want to throw the one thing we got right out with the bathwater.
