Trump supporters will tell you they’re against globalism. But examine the orange man’s history.
Back in 2013, when Donald Trump was, allegedly, mulling a run for the White House as a Republican, he wrote this in an op-ed for CNN on the global financial crisis:
“We are now closer to having an economic community in the best sense of the term — we work with each other for the benefit of all.
I think we’ve all become aware of the fact that our cultures and economics are intertwined. It’s a complex mosaic that cannot be approached with a simple formula for the correct pattern to emerge. In many ways, we are in unchartered waters.
The good news, in one respect, is that what is done affects us all. There won’t be any winners or losers as this is not a competition. It’s a time for working together for the best of all involved. Never before has the phrase “we’re all in this together” had more resonance or relevance….
“We will have to leave borders behind and go for global unity when it comes to financial stability”.
So, in his own words, a mere three years ago, Donald Trump held the same fairly conventional views of internationalism and open borders as Hillary Clinton and George Soros.
Has he changed his mind? Probably not. You can’t change your mind when you don’t really believe in anything to begin with, other than Globalism….
