The provided text critically analyzes the "America First" agenda, primarily focusing on Donald Trump's impact on its principles and future viability. It explains how Trump repopularized a historically controversial slogan, attempting to sanitize its image while simultaneously highlighting the inherent contradictions within the agenda's stated goals versus its practical implementation, such as claiming "principled realism" while engaging in aggressive unilateralism. The analysis audits the administration's foreign, trade, and domestic policies, arguing that they often failed to achieve their stated objectives and instead produced negative economic and geopolitical consequences. Ultimately, the text contends that Trump's personal leadership style transformed the movement into a loyalty cult, eroding its ideological coherence, undermining its credibility, and leaving it with a "poisoned legacy" that hinders its long-term success beyond his influence.
