Timothy Lynch | Trump and the Illusion of US Policy Change

Timothy Lynch | Trump and the Illusion of US Policy Change

Donald Trump promised a different America. Less intervention. Fewer wars. A new approach to the world.

But how much actually changes when administrations change?

In this episode of Frontlines & Backrooms, Professor Timothy Lynch argues that behind the rhetoric, American foreign policy is often far more consistent than many assume. From Obama and Trump to China, Europe, and the Middle East, we examine the enduring logic that continues to shape Washington's behavior regardless of who occupies the White House.

The conversation explores the limits of presidential power, the persistence of American grand strategy, the future of US-China competition, the role of Europe and NATO, and why shifts in political leadership often produce less change than supporters and critics expect.

Professor Timothy Lynch is Professor of American Politics at the University of Melbourne and author of In the Shadow of the Cold War: American Foreign Policy from George Bush Sr. to Donald Trump.
