Calvin Coolidge was an actual conservative....
Trump is not...
Silent Cal vs. Orange Crush?!...Nah.
A Conservative, a man of few words, who believed in a Constitutionally limited Executive and was supposedly Reagan’s model President? Yeah, not so much.
Now, FDR OTOH...
No
Most assuredly not.
Nobody would ever take a bet that someone could make Trump say three words.
The Tariff
We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to all classes. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of the consumers can be safeguarded that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor and to American manufacturers a return to perpetrate American standards of life.
A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economic level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands.
In the history of the nation the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power and bringing increased prosperity to all our people.
The tariff protection to our industry works for increased consumption of domestic agricultural products by an employed population instead of one unable to purchase the necessities of life. Without the strict maintenance of the tariff principle our farmers will need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad and with lower standards of living.
The enormous value of the protective principle has once more been demonstrated by the emergency tariff act of 1921 and the tariff act of 1922.
We assert our belief in the elastic provision adopted by congress in the tariff act of 1922 providing for a method of readjusting the tariff rates and the classifications in order to meet changing economic conditions when such changed conditions are brought to the attention of the president by complaint or application.
We believe that the power to increase or decrease any rate of duty provided in the tariff furnishes a safeguard on the one hand against excessive taxes and on the other hand against too high customs charges.
The wise provisions of this section of the tariff act afford ample opportunity for tariff duties to be adjusted after a hearing in order that they may cover the actual differences in the cost of production in the United States and the principal competing countries of the world.
We also believe that the application of this provision of the tariff act will contribute to business stability by making unnecessary general disturbances which are usually incident to general tariff revisions.
So there you go. Classic conservatism Not neo con
No. Stupid question.
Mr. Trump, I knew Calvin Coolidge, I served with Calvin Coolidge...He was a friend of mine and you sir, are no Calvin Coolidge! However, if voting for you is the only way to defeat Hillary Clinton, the Democrats, socialism and liberalism then I guess you’ll have to do. Godspeed, Mr. Trump!
No.
I a word, NO, Mr. Trump is a big government populist, Coolidge was a small government, constitutionalist.
Did Hillary actually channel Eleanor Roosevelt? Trump is Trump, Reagan was Reagan, Cal was Cal, Cruz is Cruz, (let’s not forget who Obama/Clinton/Sanders are either) and some folks are nuts enough to try to make psychic/psycho connections to “liven things up”.
Why the daily comparison? Why can’t Trump just be Trump...why does he have to be “like” somebody else?
Really? The guy that never talked?
The guy who was a lifelong politician?
I think they need to go back and try again.
Trump suffers from logorrhea and early onset senile dementia. He’s narcissistic and totally new age on morals. He’s a dedicated wife shucker, a former owner of a strip joint, and predominately famous for owning casinos. His wealth is mostly inherited and the result of government supported joint ventures that result from his close ties to the Democrat Party. He’s championed liberalism and funded it. He’s not even the same color as cool Cal. Cal was white. Trump is orange. You’re being.
The two men couldn't be more different.
Coolidge was the last of the Puritans.
Trump is a perverse moral reprobate.
Calvin Coolidge was always broke.
G-d forbid!
