This is not necessarily an endorsement of Trump. However, one thing a Trump presidency did is force the ²globalists out in the open resulting in their exposing themselves.
In America, we are free to believe whatever we want, including globalism, but to pretend to be a ³patriot when instead one is a traitor to America's founding principles, is deceptive and wrong. I am not saying you have to agree with those founding principles; I am saying don't ¹pretend you do when you don't, which globalists and their minions often do.
Then we can have an open discussion of the virtues and fallacies of globalism or any other system. This is what has made American unique; the free exchange of ideas and the opportunity to engage and agree to disagree. Globalism wishes to shut down that exchange i.e. to censor the free exchange of ideas. This is at the heart of "cancel culture." It is not conducive to a flourishing society no matter who promotes it.
Not everything desired by those sympathetic to the globalist agenda is necessarily bad - such as taking better care of the planet - but deception is wrong no matter how justified one thinks their end goal is. If an honest person is sympathetic to globalism, it would be worth reassessing that sympathy, knowing that deception is common to their methodology.
If someone wishes to be a ²globalist it would serve them better to go somewhere where globalism is gladly embraced and live with the fruit of that world view, not try to turn America into a globalist system so some can rise to power and feast off the blessings of liberty and a system built off of free-market exchange.
America has much to get right but if we wish to remain free to figure that out, globalism must be rejected.

¹The left tries to "backdoor" those with a more conservative worldview by sounding like a moderate or even conservative at times. Obama was a master at this.
²What is the driving force behind globalism? When you get past the more superficial elements of its agenda it is control of the economic system of the world for the benefit of those few who seek to control it. This is why you have people on both sides of the political aisle advancing it. In truth, globalism is exactly like communism in this regard. Some would argue they are one and the same.
Trump is an existential threat to the globalists (and their destructive agenda). The primary promoters do not care about being right or what you think of them. They're fighting for their existence and only focused on succeeding. Fair play or truth are not guiding principles for them. Winning at all costs to retain power or gain greater control over everyone and everything is.
Globalism is the essence and embodiment of what it means to be a control freak. Staying in power is more important than being good, right, or honorable. They are more concerned about being feared and obeyed than respected or admired. They are relentless in their pursuit and will eliminate you if necessary (figuratively or otherwise) to achieve their ends of power and control.
I should add many who embrace or are incorporated into the globalist camp are not necessarily aware of the destructiveness of this underlying agenda. Many are sincerely passionate about some of the values promoted by globalism (and the globalists are quick to latch on to these sentiments and incorporate them into advancing their agenda). However, those few who have a nefarious agenda (control of the economic system of the world for their personal benefit vs the benefits of those within that camp) have cleverly grabbed on to and harnessed these sincere passions and incorporated them to appeal to a good sentiment and give the emotional drive and appeal of an otherwise clearly evil and very destructive system.How does Trump fit into all this? Trump's brilliance is not his ability to think deeply but to think strategically and broadly. He is more like a general on the battlefield with a genius in knowing how to address a crisis once he has all the facts - facts that are often withheld by globalists - often within his very administration it appears. He is about results, not style or manner of operation. He is a bottom-line pragmatic businessman, not a politician. This is why so many support him… they are tired of politicians who promise everything but do nothing - or the opposite i.e. more harm than good. This is why Trump has the support of the highest percentage of minorities (blacks and Hispanics in particular of any president in years, maybe ever). People want results, regardless of race or religion. This is also why globalists dread and hate him... he gets results. Results they despise because he is also a ³patriot (he loves the principles of freedom on which America was originally founded, which is an obstacle to globalists achieving their agenda).
Globalists love freedom also, just not for you and me. They love the freedom to exploit others which is actually slavery for everyone else.
³ Not the "American, love it or leave it" no matter how stupid it becomes variety, but those who love the founding principles of freedom of speech, religion, assembly and so on.
