Do you even know who Buchanan is? He’s the grandfather of Trumpism.
The grandfather of Trumpism opposes Trump?
“Do you even know who Buchanan is? He’s the grandfather of Trumpism.”
He obviously knows the name but nothing else. It would be hard to make a more brainless, uninformed critique of Buchanan than what this buffoon has been doing.
Buchanan campaigned in 1992 on protecting American manufacturing jobs, on halting illegal immigration, on keeping America out of bad trade deals, on avoiding unnecessary wars. He had spent years battling the mainstream press alongside Reed Irvine. It was populist and nationalist, and the global oriented GOP establishment hated him for it.
Does this sound familiar? Well it should, because Trump picked up that same ball and ran with it. Every sentient reader who was familiar with Buchanan’s old platform recognized what Trump had done. Pat’s platform was pure Sam Francis “Middle American Radicals” and Trump draws from that very same well.
