President Trump has demonstrated continuities in his notion by presenting that he is different from the previous president, Barack Obama. In the same way, Trump's America First foreign policy will also affect Thailand because of abandonment by the United …show more content…

It has provided security for many countries in an anarchic international system by its forward-leaning military presence, nuclear umbrella, and defense guarantees. But when Trump became the president, he may abandon all of those in order to focus on the United States security. He may abandon the U.S. allies, which cause them feel insecure and feel lost in this anarchy system. For instance, Trump had threatened to cut U.S. military assistance to Japan and even force Japan to develop its own nuclear weapons as a deterrent to North Korean aggression.

Kelly, in an article "The 'pivot and its problems: America foreign policy in Northeast Asia'", said that states pursue four generic goals in world politics: national security, economic growth, national prestige vis-à-vis other states, and the promotion of their domestic values toward others.

Upon the demise of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman took over office with little to no background in political education or knowledge of the events following WORLD WAR II involving the “Big Three”; Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Josef Stalin. After World War II America was booming technologically and economically. This set up the new President, as well as the American government and people, to feel superior to the rest of the world.

The United States acted in a way of self-righteousness and believed that because they were booming after World War II that they had the right to then be the one and only powerhouse of the globe, and so they acted in a way that made sure all other countries were aware of this fact.
