What does the US import that, if cut off, would decrease our quality of life?

94. Not much. That's why we trade less than any other country. Not many people want to cut us off from

the rest of the world although Donald will give it a good try with his walls and tearing up all of our international agreements.

Progressive countries seem to thrive on trade and interaction with other countries. Donald's "America First" may give us the chance to see how well we can get along as an 'island' divorced from the rest of the world.

FDR may have been "an internationalist in an isolationist age" but Trump is "an isolationist in an internationalist age". Interesting times may be ahead if Donald gets his chance. If he can push his agenda through we may see how isolationism - 21st century style - works.

The rest of the world may well just say, "We enjoyed the 8 years of working with Obama who seemed to care about us. Donald obviously does not. Good luck with him. We'll check back in 4 or 8 years and see if want to join the rest of the world again or continue on the 'exceptional' route.
