“At a national level, a single policy priority determines all other national policy outlooks. That policy is the national economic policy.
“The national economic policy of a presidential candidate determines all other policies that flow from the presidential candidate. The national economic policy impacts the obvious policies like energy and trade and also determines the lesser obvious policies like regulation and even foreign policy.
“It is specifically because a candidate’s national economic outlook impacts all other issues, that most federal candidates and politicians never talk about it.
“It would be impossible to support Main Street USA, a popular talking point, and still support the Paris Climate Treaty, the Transpacific Trade Partnership (TPP), or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
“To avoid the contradictions, most sycophant politicians of the U.S. Chamber of Crypto-Fascist, Crony Commerce avoid discussing their national economic policy. It is an unspoken rule within the billionaire club and donor game – an economic code of omertà among most political candidates.
“President Trump broke the rule and even went so far as to campaign on an America First economic policy agenda. That core outlook forms the Make America Great Again foundation. MAGA is based on a national economic policy outlook that determines every other national policy as carried by President Trump.
“While most Americans may not be able to articulate how the national economic policy impacts them, almost every American feels the consequences through gasoline prices, energy prices, employment, wage rates, and the expenses within their everyday lives. To try and hide this reality, often media and economic analysts will say the U.S. President has no control over gasoline prices; however, this is unequivocally false.
“President Trump was the first presidential candidate who campaigned on a domestic national economic policy. He even went one step further and stated the T-word, tariffs. Yes, the commerce department holds tools to support a national economic policy.” Sundance
Thank you for your clear, and incisive explanation. It’s clear that Trump violated the unwritten laws of the U.S. Chamber of Crypto-Fascist, Crony Commerce. He not only talked about it during his campaign, but he enacted most of what he’d talked about, and promised. They hate him because he can’t be bought, and won’t conform. Trump is unique, and I don’t think there will ever be another like him in my lifetime. I’m 75, so the chances of that happening are slim to none.
