The right is cheering America first, pooh-poohing ‘strategic patience’

America first or America alone? Is President Trump’s national security strategy a smart one? A roundup of editorials Wednesday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the right:

1. Rebuilding America first

From City Journal: Will the GOP go along with the price tag for making American great again?

2. Strategic patience is dead -- long live America First

From The Hill: Sebastian Gorka explains that America’s national security strategy is “founded on a mantra of “America first” — not America alone.”

3. National security strategy: Trump vs. Trump

From the San Diego Union-Tribune: The America first policy works on some levels, but the president would be well-served to remember America has benefited from the global order that international treaties have created.
