In 2017, Donald Trump rode his “anti-globalist, America First” campaign message all the way to the United States presidency. Manfred Steger in his book titled “Rethinking Globalism” stated that at its most basic level, globalism is very simply a philosophy dedicated to bringing people closer together all over the world. It is fundamentally about learning from each other’s successes or failures and promoting cooperation as well as prosperity. On the right, especially in the United States, anti-globalists run the gamut from Americanists, who would prefer a world led and dominated by the United States, to libertarians or small-government conservatives. It is difficult to tell where exactly on the conservative-to-far-right spectrum President Trump himself places his anti-globalism.
