Robert Barnes: America First, Populism, Trump & Perpetual War
Robert Barnes is an American lawyer, free speech champion, and political commentator. Barnes discusses why populism and resistance to the concentration of power in an elite are at the centre of the American experience, and how “America First” was intended to be a strategic retreat from empire and instead restore the foundations of the American Republic. The ability to break away from perpetual war and imperial follies is proving to be difficult, and Trump—much like his predecessors—is hardly in control of his own government.Follow Prof. Glenn Diesen:Substack: https://glenndiesen.substack.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/Glenn_DiesenPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/glenndiesenSupport the research of Prof. Glenn Diesen: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/glenndiesenBuy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/gdiesengGo Fund Me: https://gofund.me/09ea012fBooks by Prof. Glenn Diesen: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Glenn-Diesen/author/B09FPQ4MDL?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1761554002&sr=1-1&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true
