Shits like the start of WW2 except if America invited Britain to Washington then victim blamed us, antagonised us, and then kicked us out the White House then cut off support to Britain, before that gave a dozen concessions to Nazi Germany and demanded we be nicer to them, then voted alongside Nazi Germany in support of them, I mean shit, America was isolationist during the start of WW2 but at least they weren't fucking actively siding with Nazi Germany and attacking Britain!

The US was actually doing lend-lease to Britain and Russia in the first two years of the war. FDR did want to get militarily involved, but Americans didn't want to put boots on the ground. Still, there was material support, and not the half-assed trickle we gave to Ukraine, either.

Yeah, by isolationism I meant they didn't want to get directly involved but they aided us, they thought they were safe across the ocean, like Trump. So maybe labelling them as isolationist isn't fair, they were basically doing what they were doing with Ukraine right now, supporting Britain with military aid albeit at much lower levels for Ukraine, but the rest stands, America under Trump during WW2 would have kicked Churchill out the White House, cut aid to Britain, voted with Nazi Germany at any international voting bodies, demanded UK surrender and give Germany a dozen concessions.
