Candidate Donald Trump is a risk to all of these enterprises – All.Of.Them.
I'm for Trump because I believe he's proposing common-sense solutions to the issues I deem most important-immigration, Islamic terror, and globalization. I disagree with Trump that tariffs and other punitive measures are the answer to jobs going off shore. I have followed Conservative Treehouse since the marvelous work Sundance did with the Zimmerman/Trayvon hoax. The statement from Sundance's article above I take issue with.
Even though he opposes TPP, I don't think Trump is a threat to the established order. Not the Wall-Street-DC-Brussels-Hong Kong alliance, and certainly not the Karl Roves of the world.
The person that would be a threat to all of the above would be running on a platform of term limits and elimination of the progressive income tax. Trump is doing neither, and I don't see that person anywhere.
It's the people voting for Trump that's the threat to the above interests. I have no delusions that Trump will fix everything, he's a step in a process that COULD end up with someone who would advocate, and credibly sell term limits, and the elimination of the progressive income tax. That's the person whose life will be in constant danger.
Even with Trump, it's going to be business as usual until these two things are dealt with. Sundance has been so right, on so much, but is over-rating Trump a bit, IMHO. We Trumpeters need to temper our expectations a bit, until he makes a move on term limits and the progressive income tax, I don't see it happening.
Very good points, thank you.
Wow...I agree with you 100%+. Thank you for writing that post. It gives me hope there is still someone left at FR who is thoughtful, cogent and wise.
