Jim have you read his book? It’s too good to be true.

Every paragraph is full of stuff like this:

Read his book. This comes right out of it:

“What people need to know is what the great conservative economist and writer Thomas Sowell taught us: in the world of economics, there are no such things as “solutions,” only tradeoffs. Every action has a consequence. Every decision has an upside and a downside. So you make smart decisions that minimize harm and maximize freedom. One of the many reasons why I’m a conservative is because I believe in the so-called Law of Unintended Consequences—the idea that, no matter how good government’s intentions, when you start social engineering or messing around with the free market, more often than not you open a Pandora’s box of negatives you didn’t see coming.”

That is brilliant. I hope he will start saying things like that in speeches or debates.

Trump believes in retaliatory tariffs and negotiating trade deals that put America first. Especially against Japan, China and others. Go Trump, go!
