With a divided electorate and gridlock in Congress, the next American president could easily become consumed by manifold challenges at home.

    I’d argue that the US greatly benefited from isolationism during the world wars, since all the main destruction happened in Europe/Asia.

    This meant that after joining the war late and being in the winning side, they were perfectly poised to inject themselves as a global trade leader. Ironically isolationism brought about the globalist policy today.

      Yes, being late to the party did benefit the US, but only because we stopped being isolationist.
