Trump is not trying to remake the world order
That one line in the Bloomberg email caught my eye.
I don't think Trump is isolationist. He is indeed nativist but most important of all he has a less generous sense of what is fair to America. He is not trying to remake the world order but making it fairer for America in the sense that other countries typically would have insisted. He doesn't believe in the burdens of leadership, only the spoils of hegemony (bad). The rest of the world losing this is unwilling to concede and exaggerate his intentions and the damage he is causing.
Domestically and misinformed the American public is shifting towards Trump that the world has been unfair to America.
