Trump-ing Foreign Affairs: Status Threat and Foreign Policy Preferences on the Right was authored by Rachel Blum and Christopher Sebastian Parker. It was published by Cambridge in POP in 2019.

Does supporting President Trump signal distinctive foreign policy views? We analyze this possibility.

Republican Primary Voters & Activists: Using data from 2016 ANES survey respondents and the new State Convention Delegate Study, we compare foreign policy preferences between Trump supporters and other Republicans.

Our findings reveal clear differences: Key Findings:

* Trump supporters exhibit stronger preference for status-threat enhancing policies (e.g., interventionism)

* Compared to establishment-conservative voters/delegates, their stance appears more confrontational towards other nations

Why It Matters?: We demonstrate that the influential 'status threat' model traditionally applied domestically can also explain foreign policy preferences on the right. These findings suggest status threat concerns may be a significant source of internal Republican Party conflict.
