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.

That last point I definitely can't argue. Wouldn't be surprised to find out that Fred Trump (Donnie's father) was a Nazi sympathizer. The Trumps, incidentally, tried to hide their German heritage for years because of the World Wars. Even the name is an Anglicization of Drumpf.

Bunch of cowards, too. His grandfather came to the US to flee from military service in the Bavarian army.
