Tillerson and pretty much everybody else in the White House, in the national security establishment, and in the establishment GOP Congress is a globalist, diametrically opposed to the America First, Buchananite agenda Trump espoused during the campaign of 2016.
Steve Bannon was right about all of that, and leaving his cub Miller behind when he left the White House just hasn't made a lot of difference.
Thanks to his resulting isolation, Trump's actual policies have been ever more effectively shoehorned into globalism over the course of his tenure in The White House, in flat opposition to his own revealed preferences and to the policies he campaigned on.
Will Trump be moved to try to find a new Secretary of State who could personally and effectively commit to a genuine America First policy?
Where?
And how can one cabinet member, or two, or three succeed against the fact that the whole of our defense and national security establishments have been designed and built for globalism since the Second World War, a globalism to which nearly everybody in both parties is actually committed?
It seems like trying to push an aircraft carrier onto a new course with a handkerchief used as a sail.
