In my view, No. Germany did not anticipate that the US would involve it's self in a distant war, one whose ideology, (ie totalitarianism was more or less condonned), which it was very reluctant to do, and only the prior knolledge of a provoked and impending Japanese attack on the US fleet based at Pearl Harbor, allowed Roosevelt the necessary reason to bring the public 'on-side' by providing a massive and external threat to homeland security. Never the less, Hitler I think Herr Hitler lost little sleep over American involvement.

Asked in History of the United States, US Foreign Policy
Isolationism is a recurring theme in us foreign policy?
From a historical standpoint, American foreign policy was one of
constant change, starting from one of neutrality, changing to one
of isolationism, retreating back to neutrality and then finally
engaging in a complete interventionist approach in the aftermath of
World War II. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the
U.S. solidified its place in the world as the world's sole
superpower. Consequently, interventionism became a central and
dominant theme in America's foreign policy.
from this short historical background, one can safely conclude
that the statement about isolationism being a recurring theme in
the American foreign policy is not particularly accurate.
