What's Trump's place in conservative history?

Jacob Heilbrunn's "America Last" explores the historical trend of sympathy for foreign dictatorships within the American right. The book delves into figures who admired leaders like Kaiser Wilhelm, Mussolini, and Hitler, highlighting their justifications and the underlying ideologies. Heilbrunn connects this historical context to contemporary figures and their views on leaders such as Putin and Orban. He argues that this admiration stems from a disillusionment with liberal democracy and a desire for order and strength, often overlooking the atrocities committed by these regimes. The book serves as a warning against repeating past mistakes.
