Coolidge was Ronald Reagan's favorite president - and mine, too.
That's a great post, and yes, it definitely has similarities to the public political philosophy of Donald Trump.
With two important exceptions....
Trump has increased federal spending. Not only that, Trump's 2018 deficit is higher than Obama’s 2017 deficit, even though Trump has record tax collections, low unemployment, and high economic growth.
Also, we had very little illegal immigration in 1924. Coolidge's primary concern was LEGAL immigration, which he cut almost to zero.
In sharp contrast, legal immigration under Trump is almost identical to Obama - about 1 million per year. Green Cards and Naturalizations are also identical - about 750,000 per year.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1953, President Trump has immense discretionary powers.
Trump has the statutory and executive authority to literally cut legal immigration to zero for his entire term.
Unfortunately, Trump is never going to do that.
