National security experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation the new Trump administration must take the trend more seriously.

Commentary: Trump Must Continue to Axe American Taxpayer-Funded Globalist Organizations

President Donald Trump, United Nation

Politicians and the high-brow intelligentsia have long led Americans to play patsy to the world-government movement. President Trump has made a good start at ending this nonsense, but there is much more to do.

To be clear, Trump is not an isolationist. He understands that as the world’s pre-eminent superpower militarily and economically, the United States has a role to play. But that role has rules and limits which preclude support for hostile or deadwood international organizations.

Safety, strength and prosperity will be the key objectives of the U.S. Department of State under the second Trump administration, Secretary of State nominee Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said during his confirmation hearing Wednesday.

Commentary: Trump Driving Foreign Policy Blob Crazy by Daring to Put America First

Trump Saluting

For the past 40 years, American politicians have argued how wars in far-flung third-world countries are in the United States’ vital strategic interests. From Iraq to Kosovo, American leaders of both parties squandered trillions of dollars and thousands of lives chasing phantom threats around the world.

The rationale behind these interventions has often been based on outright fabrications cloaked by high-falutin’ language to the American public. Take President Bill Clinton’s 78-day bombing of a European capital — the first since World War II. Clinton sold the intervention as a way to prevent World War III: “We act to prevent a wider war, to defuse a powder keg at the heart of Europe, that has exploded twice before in this century with catastrophic results.”
