Where Trump will take his America First brand of foreign policy remains unclear. The outcome of the midterms clearly revealed broad popular discontent with his policies, and Trump might therefore orchestrate a course correction to win back public support. But in the wake of the midterm rebuke, a vulnerable and wounded Trump could be a dangerous Trump. He may well double down on, not moderate, the unilateralist, neo-imperial, protectionist, and anti-immigrant impulses that have shaped his policies, an outcome more likely after the appointment of Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff. Miller is an ideological hard-liner and a proponent of untrammeled executive authority.
