"There is certainly much to be concerned about US policy in the coming period. But challenging Trump does not require us to romanticise what went before, or to eulogise a liberal order that never was. We need rather to rethink what we mean by internationalism in this age of assertive nationalism."

Kenan Malik at The Guardian argues that the "liberal international order that too often put order before liberalism."

And George Monbiot writes that "Trump's election was a response to the cruel failures of neoliberalism, but it will also be their ultimate expression."
