%X Donald Trump¡¯s 2017 National Security Strategy (NSS) promises to put ¡°America first.¡± However, it is only a partial break from convention, and evinces a deep current of incoherence in Trump¡¯s foreign policy. The NSS attempts to combine two incompatible worldviews into a single doctrine: the president¡¯s ¡°America First¡± nationalism and the seventy-year-old internationalist consensus among the US foreign policy establishment. Not only does it betray strategic dissonance, it portends an impossible working relationship between Trump¡¯s insurgent nationalism and the traditionalism of the US foreign policy bureaucracy
