Most nationalists aren’t isolationists though. Historically or presently. Almost nobody in politics, especially in the USA, are actually isolationists, which should be clear at this point. How is a nation whose biggest industry is military served nationalistically by isolationism? It’s nonsense.
Bolton is a nationalist. Zionism is nationalism. American exceptionalism is Nationalism. These are just facts.
Bolton really was never keen on neocon dreams of transplanting democracy into the Middle East, declaring instead that he was “pro-American” and in favor of “protecting the American national interest.” That’s the language of nationalism, which holds that a country ought to advance its own fortunes rather than acting on codes of universal principles.

bolton as an American nationalist is laughable. His idea of “the American interest” is thats it’s whatever isreal wants.
He is not America First.

watch this 3 minutes. You’ll see where his loyalties are.
