Feature, not a bug. Trump and the isolationists think that this helps US power in long term, when it will result in the opposite.

The entire Post-war Era is built on anti-isolationism. We got two world wars within 25 years of each other because of isolationism and the failure to build international institutions that could de-escalate potential conflicts. Engagement through diplomacy, economics, and art, along with military alliances designed to prevent acts of aggression by more powerful regimes has given the world a rather historically long period of general peace.

Why the fuck would anyone think tearing that down is a good idea?
