Trump’s Realism: America First Not America Alone
By Roger Kimball| April 10th, 2017
Is Donald Trump a student of Charles Maurice de Talleyrand? Some of Trump’s recent actions suggest that he is, at least intuitively. I am thinking in particular of Talleyrand’s observation that “non-intervention is a metaphysical idea, indistinguishable in practice from intervention.” The question is not whether a state like America is part of the process. It is, by definition. The question is how effective a role it will play.
Thursday night, Donald Trump demonstrated his grasp of that truth.
