Yellow Journalism of Bob Woodward and the New York Times
American Greatness, Sep 16, 2018, Ilana Mercer

[...]

Mostly reflexively, not always consciously, “The Powers That Be” seek to retain and enlarge their sphere of influence. Nothing, not even the venerated vote, is allowed to alter that “balance.”

This means that established fiefdoms and the “thinking” underlying them are to remain unchanged and unchallenged. Foreign affairs, war-making, the post-war economic order and globally guided crony capitalism are examples.

Against this command-and-control apparatus, 62 million Americans rebelled. They liked Trump’s America First ideas enough to elect their champion as president.  The president promised to upend “the post-1945 rules-based international order,” and deplorables applauded him for it.

Had Woodward and his publisher missed the 2016 Trump Revolution? Apparently so.  Incredulous, Woodward grumbled at one Fox News host: “People need to wake up to what’s happening under Trump.”

[...]

These senile subversives would like you to believe the president is insane for expecting to move on promises made to American voters. If not to withdraw from international agreements that have compromised ordinary Americans, at least to rework them so they don’t further pauperize our workers.

Who can argue that successive U.S. administrations had ceded the sovereignty of citizens to various supranational systems through international treaty making?

That Deplorables wished to reclaim their sovereignty is nevertheless news to seasoned newsman Bob Woodward.
