American nationalistic sentiment will rear its ugly head.

There are far too many Americans out there who believe we don't need any 'friends' on the world stage; that we can do whatever we like, go it alone and not have to get input from anyone else. Our way or the highway and screw the French while we're at it.

People like Pat Buchannan who are pretty much isolationists in ideology are crapping in their pants at the thought of a president who would think on such a global scale.
