I supported Trump from July, 2015, ans supported him thoroughly. And I still may. But you only Trumpers are making it harder.
You guys make ANY excuse for him, even ones that are meant to give us a Trump 2.0. You take glee in attacking a good Christian woman who survived Cancer. You revel In being nasty. You are a discredit to Trump.

Yes, there seems to be a lot of BS being spouted on FR and elsewhere, Trump supporters are clearly running scared. Too bad they don't focus their attention on Biden or defending Trump for his indictments, porn stars, poor hiring choices, bad mouthing and disloyaty, and mostly fleeting successes via EOs instead of hard work of legislation. Easier to trash others, divert attention, instead of defending the indefensible.

And regarding tariffs, I'll wait to hear what DeSantis proposes to reign in China, restore American manufacturing, instead of jumping to conclusions. Tariffs are just one of many tools available.

Sundance nailed it. These two paragraphs are gold:

As part of the strategic political effort, the Republican wing of the Big Club needs to carve up the supporters of Donald Trump into smaller, easier to target, pieces. This is where the value of the culture war, what is now considered as ‘wokeism’, plays into the strategy of those who seek to control political outcomes and remove the threat that Trump represents to their financial interests.

In many ways, this is why we are seeing prominent Republican officeholders pushing the culture war as a tool for their own political advancement. The same Big Club members who are directly fighting against the America-First economic agenda, are the same Big Club members who are funding the Republican politicians to push the culture war.

I get really uncomfortable when USA Conservatives attack Free Trade.

Instead of quotas or tariffs, just require exporting countries to obey the same environmental laws that USA producers must obey.

As to employee benefits and work rules, the USA must focus on automated processes and expert software, and must stop importing millions of low skill, low education foreign workers.

Competition is the "gasoline" (LOL) for higher USA productivity and higher USA standards of living.

I’d never say trump was a true “conservative,” but he is the right man for our times. Conservatives long decried tariffs as a hindrance to “Free Trade” and Free Trade has long been the gospel. That’s fine and all that, but times have changed and tariffs are at this point in history one of our best weapons of war against the Chinese . We probably should thank the UN for continuing to grant China “developing nation” status and likewise thank our leaders past and present for their adherence to anything the UN et al have to say.

One of the reasons they deliberately leaked Covid was so they wouldn't have to honor the trade deals that Trump forced them to accept.

I do believe that you are right about that. Chaos renders so much policy moot.

Terrific are important. Grinding the left’s bones to powder here is more important.
