'David Duke called Brexit a triumph over the “Jewish globalist agenda.”The term “globalist” is a bit like the term “thug.” It’s an epithet that is disproportionately directed at a particular minority group. '
'It’s possible to use the term “globalist”—even about a Jew—innocently, just like it’s possible to use the term “thug” about an African American with no racist intent. '

'On Thursday, President Trump saluted his outgoing director of the National Economic Council, Gary Cohn. “He may be a globalist,” Trump declared, “but I still like him.”The generous interpretation is that Trump was merely referring to Cohn’s support of free trade, as illustrated by his opposition to the steel and aluminum tariffs Trump just imposed.
