Donald Trump Was Never an Isolationist

Donald Trump's stance on foreign policy has often been mischaracterized as isolationist, particularly highlighted by his controversial comments during the 2016 Republican primary debate where he labeled the Iraq War a 'big, fat mistake.' Despite his claims, Trump's opposition to the war did not emerge until later, contradicting his narrative of being an early critic.
