The slogan America First has been a conservative theme for many decades, and was championed by Pat Buchanan in the 1990s based on his campaigns of American nationalism, strict immigration controls, anti-interventionist foreign policies, and no perpetual wars.
Donald Trump picked up on this theme in his presidential campaigns, evoking a brand of patriotism echoing the foreign policy of previous greats such as George Washington and John Quincy Adams. Danny Toma wrote:
| “ | We don't deem someone noble who goes against his own country's interests for the betterment of another country. We call that person a traitor. Just as a father has a primary responsibility to his own family rather than to another family, so too the leader of a nation must look out for his own first, and, only then, help others.[1] | ” |
Liberals and globalists, who have little, if any, sense of patriotism, have falsely labeled "America First" as a "racist" national policy.[2]
