But, having had no idea "America First" was the exact phrase used by the Charles Lindbergh wing of the isolationist camp, I do acknowledge your point. I'm not sure I buy it, but I see the argument.
I do think it's impossible to stop globalization. Putting America's interests first and globalization aren't mutually exclusive concepts.
I'm also not defending Trump putting America first. I was merely wondering, "Isn't this whatever every President does?"

As to the history of America First, the people organizing white nationalist movements are well aware of this. This is what they read. These are their heroes.
