National Review should be Re-named either "Globalist Review" or "Internationalist Review"

To say that Donald Trump is a kind of American version of Jean-Marie and Marine Le Pen, the French populist leaders, has become a bit of a cliché. What is more interesting is what it means for where America is headed.
But first, let us rehearse the case for Trump being the American Le Pen. We can check off the list. There is the rhetoric: the over-the-top nationalism (Trump calls for “America First,” Marine Le Pen’s consigliere wants to rebrand her National Front party as “The Patriots”), the xenophobia, as distinguished from sensible immigration restrictionism, complete with not-so-naked ethnic appeals and scapegoating of minority groups and “us-versus-them” populist rhetoric. There are the outrageous comments on hot-button issues that allow you (sometimes legitimately, but sometimes not) to paint yourself as a victim of PC thought police and elite media propaganda. Then there is the agenda (at least the agenda of those who would want Trumpism to have an agenda, such as Stephen Bannon and Stephen Miller, as opposed to the White House’s actually existing agenda, which is all over the place), which departs from traditional economic conservatism in its embrace of corporatism and opposition to free trade. And, of course, there is the bizarre fascination with Vladimir Putin.

Trump calls for “America First.”
And the problem with this is what?????
Every national leader should consider their citizens and nation first.
It’s absurd to think Trump would think of other nation’s citizens and their nation above our own.
Folks that trash Trump on this point are clueless.
Obama did it, so now these folks think every president should.
“Trump calls for “America First.”
“And the problem with this is what?????”
It’s a dog whistle for white privilege! (s)
“as distinguished from sensible immigration restrictionism”
The National Review thinks “sensible immigration restrictionism” means open borders and amnesty forever.
One thing it means is that American voters are SICK AND TIRED of the Communist-IslamoNazi Alliance (DNC) ... and their RINO fellow travelers, enablers.
SICK AND TIRED!
McConnell/McShame/Lindsay/Collins/and a couple more MUST GO !!!!!!! ASAP!!!!!!!!
This is ridiculous how this small handful of old tired collaborators and sell-outs can get away with fixing some of the ObamaSorozNazi damage .... let’s MAGA!
>>McConnell/McShame/Lindsay/Collins/and a couple more MUST GO !!!!!!! ASAP!!!!!!!!

My daily/nightly prayers.
This is where I stopped reading.
When did Maxine Waters start writing for National Review?

[ the xenophobia, as distinguished from sensible immigration restrictionism
This is where I stopped reading. ]
They have become as “open border retarded” as the Nerds at the Wall Street Journal
My tagline stands on its own.
You can add steaming pile..except for the occasional Victor Hanson article. Nat. Review showed their backside coming out against Trump before a single primary vote was cast. Stopped right then and there..
Just so I understand the rules: Opinions and essays are breaking news? If so, then should we call unfolding news events like earthquakes, terrorist attacks, congressional votes, etc., “really breaking news,” and big stuff “really, really breaking news.”
What is this guy talking about? The only "immigration reform" on the table until Trump got to town was amnesty and even more open borders.
The scribes of the cheap labor express once again demonstrates why RINO’s need to be defeated at the ballot box and Communists need to be destroyed.
Yep, that covers it. Good one.
I feel your pain but, as they say, that ship has sailed.
