metadata.value: The article explores the characteristic features and controversies of the grand strategy of the
  45th president of the United States in the context of the evolution of the US isolationism as one
  of the main historical strands in the US foreign policy thought. In order to provide a more nuanced
  approach than the classical isolationism-internationalism dichotomy the author turns
  to the four schools theory of American historian W. R. Mead. Within the theory framework,
  the two isolationist schools, i. e., Jeffersonianism and Jacksonianism, are studied in detail. As
  a special methodology, the author applies neoclassical realism, which allows to determine the
  impact of domestic factors on the controversial nature of Trumps’ grand strategy. Isolationist
  ideas are studied on the example of the interwar period when the public debate about the
  course of the US foreign policy reached its peak. The next section analyzes D. Trump’s grand
  strategy using the theory of W. R. Mead and neoclassical realism methodology. Despite the
  fact that Trump’s ideology combined Jeffersonian and Jacksonian components, in practice the
  45th President gravitated more towards Jacksonian hawks than to the minimalist realism of the
  Jeffersonian school. The differences from the Jeffersonian school were especially evident in the
  spheres of defense and security policy. Finally, the resistance of the foreign policy apparatus,
  opposition of the Congress and the subjective inconsistency of Trump explain the failures in
  the implementation of Trump’s grand strategy. The author draws the conclusion about the
  coexistence of the two parallel grand strategies during Trump’s presidency: isolationism and
  interventionism.
