This essay addresses three key questions. First, what is the difference between nationalism and populism? Second, is Donald Trump really a nationalist? Third, what are the implications of the answer to this second question for American grand strategy? The essay concludes that (1) nationalism and populism are distinct analytical concepts; (2) Trump qualifies as a nationalist in this understanding; and (3) his nationalism can be linked to efforts to revise American grand strategy in ways that should trouble allies and trade partners alike.
