Abused? Hardly......what DJT did was paddle his little fanny behind the woodshed.
Trump let the pompus jerk know his globalist world view has destroyed America and especially the workers for decades. Tariffs stop the importing of slave wage goods to be made here.
blah, blah, blah, polished expensive loafers, coiffed hair ...
While these aren't all necessarily economic issues, they do have financial elements. And when someone comes along to challenge them, or propose a different way, they are shocked, angry and defiant.
The purpose of the interview from Trump’s perspective is to elevate Trump’s candidacy. It is not to earn the most points from the debate judge. If interviewers (not this WSJ guy necessarily, but most of them) are going to give loaded questions and interrupt his answers and try to say things to hurt him and take him out of context, he has the obligation to do what he can to get HIS message out.
This is the new political reality.
What joke.
What was “Spectator” watching? I guess we can’t believe our lying eyes.
And yet Trump got a standing ovation
“Freddy?”I’ve listened the first 2/3s, it’s Mickelthwite who’s running for cover the whole time on the substance, trying to cut Trump off. (this is going to focus on economic topics”...”what about Putin, did you talk with him since you left office ?” “the bipartisan.. blah, blah, blah has said your programs will add twice as much to the federal debt as Harris’s, what do you say to that?” “it’s all about growth, Kamala has nothing in her plans about growth.” mickelthwaite got concerned about having to answer to Michael Bloomberg, no doubt. I wonder who Freddy has to answer to.
“Is that true? Does anyone care? If Kamala Harris speaks in confusing word salads, Trump can speak in even more baffling fruit jellies — even as he insists he’s all about “common sense.” The effect is hypnotic.“
You’d never know wading through this self congratulating hipsters self congratulating hipster prose that Trump was president for four years. How’d he do? Schmuck!
Awww. Poor globalist snowflake feels abused. The horror!
Micklethwait is a brilliant man...Trump is a rude seventy-eight-year-old force of nature...
abused Micklethwait for asking perfectly reasonable questions...
Micklethwait gently tried to confront Trump...
Trump snapped back...
Micklethwait bravely insisted...
On tariffs, Micklethwait gently tried to confront Trump with the possible problems his second administration might cause if it pursues an even harder protectionist line. “It must be hard for you to spend twenty-five years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you’re wrong,” said Trump.
One area regarding tariffs that bothered me was when President Trump tried to explain to Micklethwait his reasoning regarding how tariffs would work to better the United States economy:
Selling our products in overseas markets would improve our economy.
Encouraging American companies to source raw materials from within the United States would improve our economy.
People are free to purchase foreign products like BMWs and Toyotas if they want to pay the higher prices, but if Germany or Japan want to manufacture them here (not just assemble them from parts manufactured overseas), they can employ American workers and use American raw materials to improve our economy.
Auto manufacturing is being moved to Mexico, military manufacturing has been reduced to the point where we can't swiftly replenish our capability, steel manufacturing is falling, the related ore mining and energy production to support domestic manufacturing has declined, household durable goods manufacturing (e.g., home appliances) has fallen, and the jobs associated with the entire supply chain to sustain this manufacturing have disappeared. Rebuilding our manufacturing base across the board will provide jobs and improve our economy.
The answer that President Trump should give to globalists that want the status quo to remain should simply be this:
How long did it take us to offshore our manufacturing and decimate our economy? We should at least be allowed to take some of that time to bring it back.

What these “expensive loafers” types simply don’t understand about DJT is that he is many things. Part entertainer, part story teller, part savvy politician, part CEO, part regular guy. As he said, he is also a weaver. He weaves the many parts of himself into all of his public appearances. That makes him brilliant, compelling, sometimes annoying, but always fascinating.
Apparently, you do, Freddy.
The diminishing number of cabinet members that actually have any private sector experience or ever worked for a paycheck or wrote one has been very small for this age of demoncraps.
Trump should simply say: “Let’s compare balance sheets.”
