Abstract

The article discusses the evolving foreign and national security policy of U.S. President Donald Trump, highlighting a shift towards a more assertive military engagement compared to his initial "America First" stance. It notes significant actions such as missile strikes in Yemen and support for Ukraine, indicating a departure from the isolationist tendencies often attributed to Trump's electoral base, known as MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters. Recent polling data reveals that a majority of MAGA voters favor a proactive U.S. role in global affairs, including support for human rights and military aid to allies, contradicting the notion that they are isolationist. The article concludes that Trump's base is largely supportive of a strong and engaged foreign policy, suggesting that the MAGA movement has never truly embraced isolationism.
