US hegemony, embedded in the global capitalist order of the last 75 years can be divided into three periods: The liberal-fordist period, the neoliberal-post fordist period and the non-liberal (illiberal) period that started in 2008 and peaked with Trump.The global capitalist system has sustained itself despite the two World Wars, economic crises, rise and fall of fascism and protectionism.Following the 2008 financial crisis, the requirement of restructuring the system emerged for the existence of the liberal global order.Donald Trump, who was elected US President in 2016, stated that the US would not maintain supply of global public goods, which include many countries and the global population, aiming to satisfy today's needs without endanger the needs of future generations, if the other allies do not share the costs.In his first presidential speech, he used the "America first" motto, which explicitly manifested that the global public goods supplied by the US for the sake of other countries' security and the continuance of the global capitalist order cannot be maintained in conditions are not in favor of the US.By this way, since 1945 the roots of global liberal order and US hegemony which freedom, the rule of law, democracy, common values and international institutions has come under question with Trump.In this study, debates on whether hegemony, which is claimed to be a global public good by Trump and whose procurement may be harmful for the USA, can be seen as a global public good will be carried out.Besides it will be tried to prove that the leadership, which Trump claims to be carried out without any interest, is the key element that makes the US hegemon.Structured Abstract: US hegemony, embedded in the global capitalist order of the last 75 years can be analyzed into three periods: The liberal-fordist period, the neoliberal-post fordist period and illiberal (nonliberal) period.The last period started in 2008 and peaked with Trump's election.The global capitalism has sustained itself despite the two World Wars, economic crises, the rise of fascism.Following the Great Recession of 2008, the necessity of the system reform emerged for the existence of the global capitalist order.
