The effects on the G7 leaders may have looked like chaos, but in actuality Trump’s move to place America first jostled the other leaders’ priorities as well. Even Justin Trudeau and Angela Merkel both made remarks pointing at the fact that is just as true for their countries as Trump’s are for America: We need to take care of our own.
By treating the G7 members as bad business partners, Trump may have begun a process that will help them become much better business partners.
This is in contrast to the burgeoning model of “one-world globalism” that has gained so much ground in Europe and the West, where political niceties cover up bad deals and in some cases, corruption, that enriches state leaders and the powerful, while shutting out the citizenry.
The vision of “America first” is often misunderstood as “America’s way or no way” – or in other words, a continuation of an American foreign policy which has been hamfisted, stupid and wrong in many ways around the world.
And indeed, some policy decisions still appear to be hamfisted or at least ill-informed. For example, a recent report states that the US has resumed funding the “White Helmets” in Syria, a move that is largely seen as an horrific error. (This may be partially mitigatated by the fact that only a very limited amount of funding was made available to them, compared with how much was budgeted. Still the American consciousness is not accurate here.)
But Mr. Trump’s vision of America First extends to each nation-state in the world. In his address to the United Nations last year, he said as much, expressing his vision of the United Nations in this manner:
What we are seeing is the actualization of this. The means are startling to our culture that is inured in the notion that statism and non-prosperous globalism are the new normals. But for President Trump and those other two leaders (President Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jiping), the world is a group of nation states, open for business and in competition for the best business.
The three great world powers are trying to align for this, but in a way that is perhaps different than in the past. President Trump’s vision aligns here with the visions of both the Russian and Chinese leaders, in that none of these men aspire for world leadership. Rather, they aspire to help their own countries prosper by doing good business – and this will help any participating nation to do the same.

No, new wars under trump! Just the mess he maybe trying to fix but like Putin it will take years to rectify the ussa but only if they can keep this up can or will they is another question! The ussa is a fascist state and until the banks are properly regulated nothing will change. Time for the knowledgeable ussa citizens to stand will they probably not. Why, well, most are taught that being in debt is good! That borrowing is good so just how addicted is the ussa to money! Richest nation but the poorest. Right now, with the… Read more »
God has plan for you and Deepstate your country including Russia, but except China and Iran. And NK?
Trump’s statements juxtapose the intent of those who surround him and run actual US foreign policy:

“US has resumed funding the “White Helmets” in Syria”
Everything written against the war in Vietnam, is true for ANY war waged by the United States (directly or by proxy), wherever in the world.
“They speak of morality while they douse screaming children and old women in burning napalm. The GI soldiers who kill the innocent are decorated by presidents, welcomed home from the bayoneting of children and the burning of hospitals with parades and bunting. Only those who lose are tried as war criminals for following orders and directives.” ― Stephen King
This is totally surreal. On the same article that this ridiculous buffoon, Seraphim Hanisch, acknowledges that Trump resumed the funding of the jihadist activists known as White Helmets – which, obviously, means that he also provides clandestine aid to the terrorist groups still in Syria – he asserts that the POTUS supports a multi-polar world and shares the vision of Putin and Xi. This is a very bad sign for the quality of The Duran’s journalistic efforts. The signs were (and still are) obvious due to the bias of Alex Christoforou (and somehow, he must be responsible for recruiting this… Read more »
Question is, is Trump’s ‘America First’ being managed by israel-first agents?
Good to see Peter Lavelle again in The Duran. He is a great asset.
The NWO order: run by an elite and this includes the top of them all, the Rothschild & Co., the Money Changers. A new multi-polar world would be the best answer to that kind of oppression by those few.
Trump’s persona is as old as the world.
“He possesses all the attributes of a demagogue; a screeching, horrible voice, a perverse, cross-grained nature and the language of the market-place. In him all is united which is needful for governing.” – Aristophanes
