I wrote another reply to the person who posted but I don't like repeating myself, so I'll just give the cliff notes:

Trump's "America has been treated very unfairly" rhetoric is more likely just an extension of his own persecution complex, which in turn is just standard fascist rhetoric about how "we were once great, but we've allowed ourselves to be humiliated by our adversaries... but now we'll be great again and take our revenge on all of them". It's nothing new. And while I have a high opinion of Yanis, I think he's just wrong here, and I think that's exactly why UnHerd (a sussy "alt-left" pro-TERF publication) was happy to publish his article.
