Good point. Do you think someone might have done this purposely, not to hurt Trump but to bring the issue out in the open? In other words, to emphasize that being for America first does not mean anything but what it says? If so, they have done it.
I have a feeling the speechwriter has never heard of the more recent America First party of the turn of the 21st century.
Rush is a complicating factor. I have never listened to his show although I admire his talent, so I’m not the best one to analyze his comments in context. But the fact that he is not a Trump supporter is a certainly a good reason to take his words very unseriously. Yes, I get the point of others that he is debunking those who say America First is Nazi. OK, but he has given the whole issue more play by doing so.
Most important, IMO: We are in a different era now than 75 years ago. We have become finally too globalist for the American good. It’s probably time to temper our concern, to continue to help the rest of the world but not to the extreme detriment to Americans that we are experiencing now, especially since those touting “globalism” are doing it for their own interests, not America’s.
Those on this thread who remind us that Trump wants to wipe out ISIS are right on target. ISIS is the modern-day Nazis, and such a great evil that anyone who does not see them as the top concern is either in denial or on their side.
My Semester long term paper in my Major, my Senior Year at Oberlin in 1956, was on the great League of Nations Debate, and I suspect that I am more familiar with both the issues and ramifications of that Debate, and the fall out, afterward from the trounced Wilsonians, than Rush.
