That liberal RINO-puke Kevin Williamson appears to be suffering from either an overdose or no dose of whatever meds he ought to be on. His hateful spew would never have been tolerated by William F. Buckley. WFB would have bounced his ass right out the door.

Every "Free Trade" deal includes money to retrain American workers "displaced" by the deal. Why is that?
BTW "displaced" is nice way of saying laid off, mortgage in jeopardy, marital strife and creating a life long socialist.

I can’t remember did Ross Perot surround himself with conservatives like Jeff Sessions?
I mean before dropping out because he claimed that republican operatives were planning to disrupt his daughter’s wedding.

The idiot says that trade restrictions that other countries put on American goods has little negative effect but it would be a disaster for the US to reciprocate.
To: SeekAndFind
Unless I have strong evidence to the contrary, I will continue to believe the reason Trump has it in for China is because they repeatedly got the better of him trying to make deals.

“Trump fancies himself an ace negotiator, a skill that he has had some chance to hone in an embarrassing series of corporate bankruptcies”
LMAO. Who the hell is Kevin D. Williamson? Trump is worth billions and owns property all over the world. By any reasonable standard he is a very successful negotiator.
I checked the numbers and last year the US ran a $343 billion deficit with China, a $53 billion deficit with Mexico, and a $67 billion deficit with Japan. Trump’s position is that the trade deals with these countries need to be renegotiated so that they become more balanced. Does Kevin D. Williamson disagree?
Trump says that he is in favor of free trade. What Kevin D. Williamson doesn’t get is that in the real world, trade deals need to be negotiated. The numbers don’t lie. The politicians made bad deals with China, Mexico and Japan. Trump is right. Kevin D. Williamson is wrong.

"While Trump himself is fundamentally unserious,
the Right has witnessed a destructive reemergence of the old anti-trade populism articulated by Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot."
WRONG on both examples !
Source:
" ...the obvious question:How can an impolitic New York billionaire, who openly touts his ubiquitous pastof greasing the palms of politicians of all stripes in order to amass a kings fortune in business,
possibly become a populist hero of the average citizen out there,and in particular many conservative Republicans?
The answer is simple.He knows the BEAST.Hes familiar with its moves, its tactics, its weaknesses and vulnerabilities,
and therefore hes one of the most qualified to kill it --or at least to bridle and saddle it,then ride it and bring it to heel.
Indeed, for generations many well-intentioned patriots have attempted to assault the dragons lair on the Potomac.
Unfortunately, their Mr. Smith-caliber zeal and integrity alone werent the proper weapons of St. George needed to fightthe sharp teeth and talons of entrenched bureaucracy,
nor the fiery breath of a complicit media and entertainment industrial complex.
Who knows,perhaps Trumps charred and gnawed bones will join the pile of carnage at the caves entrancelike so many who have tried before him.
That remains to be seen.
Nevertheless, if someone were ultimately to prevail against the Leviathan of Government,whether that is Trump or anyone else,
the true peoples champion would have to be someone of independent financial means.That is, he or she would need to be able to fight without ever becoming beholden to the faceless financiers and donorswho ONY give IN ORDER TO RECEIVE (and control).
He must therefore be INCORRUPTIBLE,otherwise, were right back to where we are now.
He or she would also need to be PROVEN in terms of demonstrable organizational success on the world stage,NOT a member of the FAILED professional political class, or a PONTIFICATING academic,
or God forbid, a malignant narcissist community organizer with ZERO experience in the real world.
Although, being a narcissist isnt necessarily a showstopperIF this leader can TRULY GET THE JOB DONE.
Saving the country wont be judged on STYLE points, just results.
Certainly modesty isnt one of Mr. Trumps virtues.
But as they say,it aint bragging IF YOU CAN DO IT.
... Trumps supporters ... They are indeed protesting, ... coming forth FROM BOTH major parties ALONG WITH independents,sorely aggrieved at a dysfunctional governmentguilty of far more than 95 transgressions.
They arise together IN FURY BECAUSEour once great government has clearly BECOME DESTRUCTIVE of operating BY THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED,
and it is therefore the right of the people TO ALTER OR TO ABOLISH IT,and to institute NEW government. "

Limbaugh Compares Trump To Perot In 1992
Here's
another explanation on
WHY Donald Trump is
NOT another
"Ross Perot" .
Carly on Hillary, Rather on Trump -- and Dr. Carson on What Ails America
August 14, 2015
...
RUSH: ... CNN last night, Don Lemon speaking with host of the TV show called The Big Interview.
This would be Dan Rather, about the presidential race.
Don Lemon said,"Have you ever seen anything like this Trump stuff?
You ever seen anything like this in all of your years covering politics?"
RATHER: I have not.
I'm fond of saying I've been to goat-ropings and space shots and been covering presidential campaigns a long time.
I've never seen anything like this...
Many Republicans fear...He's definitely tapped into something.
And I know that the other Republican candidates see him as sort of a sun-powered, perpetual motion, all-American bull-shine machine,
but a large section of his party doesn't see him that way.
RUSH: Right. So Dan Rather thinks he's in for the long haul."You ever heard of goat roping?
Can't say that I have, either.
But Dan Rather... (interruption) He been to one.
And... (interruption) "I'm fond of saying I've been to goat-ropings and space shots
and been covering presidential campaigns a long time.
I've never seen anything like this."
He was around when the Perot phenomenon was happening.
Would he not...?
How many of you people think that the Perot think is vastly different from what's happening now?
How many of you think it's much the same thing?
I mean, Perot?Can anybody say third party?
There was no pledge from Perot.
I mean, Perot... You know, you look at the differences in Perot and Trump.
Snerdley, off the top of your head can you cite any?
I know it's an unfair question because there are some things. (interruption)
Well, yeah, Perot didn't brag about how rich he was, but he did in his own way, and others did it for him.
He didn't do it exactly as Trump does, but I'll give you an example.
He's out there describing how the federal government wastes money. (impression)"Hell! Hell, Larry!
You know, they're running around and they're buying all these 737s and 757s.
Hell, I don't need all that!
I have two of 'em myself.
What you need to do is get a bunch of Lear 55s.
You can save about $150 billion and get rid of..."
Well, how does he know that?
So it was subtle (chuckles), but it was the same thing.
I think there was a...
How many of you in this audience...?
Let me just ask you.I know I can't see your hands raise,
but how many of you think that Trump is in this to win it.?
That's the big question. Snerdley, you think Trump's in this to win it? (interruption)
Snerdley says he don't know.Dawn, you think Trump's in this to win it?
Dawn thinks he is.Brian?
No? Don't know, or don't think he's in to win it?
Brian doesn't know, and I can tell by the way he's saying it, he doesn't care.
So how many of you think Trump's in it to win it?
I can tell you Perot was never in it to win it, and that was a huge factor.
That was important to me.
How do I know that?
How did I know that, do you mean ... ?
Because it was borne out to be true.He quit when it looked like he was gonna win!
I knew... (interruption)
I predicted he would get out.
I predicted IF it looked like he was gonna win, he would get out 'cause he didn't WANT to win.
I mean, what was that thing?
He didn't go somewhere,somebody didn't go to his event 'cause some daughter was getting married or some such thing.
I happened to find out WHAT Ross Perot's REASON for getting into the race was, and it was PERSONAL.
I have a lot of respect for Ross Perot.
You can't take his achievement away from him. You can't.
He's a unique, genuine American in a whole lot of ways, but I knew he did NOT WANT to win the presidency.
That first speech he gave at the National Press Club that got all this attention...
I'll never forget Christopher Hitchens, the late Christopher Hitchens was on C-SPAN the next day.
There was some authors hour or some such thing, and Perot the previous day, they televised a speech he had given the National Press Club
where he just railed against the irresponsibility of Washington and the spending and HOW he would fix it."They're flying around in 737s, Larry, and 757s!
Get rid of all that.
Get some Lear 55s.
That's all the people running our government need.
They don't need to stand up in there.
Got room to sit, that's fine, fine for everybody.
Nobody else stands up in airplanes; why should they?"
All right, fine,
the next day on C-SPAN, when it was time to take calls, every call to Christopher Hitchens was about Ross Perot
and he had no idea what had happened.
So he's getting all these question from C-SPAN viewers who had seen Perot the day before
or maybe a couple days before and about 30 or 45 minutes into this Hitchens said,"I'm very much uninformed here.
There's something happening that I'm totally unaware of."
He was there to talk about his book and nobody cared about that.
They wanted to talk about what they'd seen Perot do.
But Perot didn't do that speech to win the ...
he didn't even .... wasn't even thinking about running at that point,
and he I know that he didn't INTEND to win.
I don't know that ABOUT Trump.
So Rush DID NOT SAY that Trump was NOT in it
to WIN.
Rush has an entirely
different thought about Trump.

Good article. There is no such thing as a ‘trade deficit’. There cannot be as every trade Americans make in the marketplace is fully paid for in US dollars. It is idiotic to believe that trade should be balanced or reciprocal.
That federal law prohibits most crude-oil exports is proof that we could be even richer but for government’s heavy hand on the market. Those who would demand tariffs should first explain how the sugar tariff benefits America. Look it up. Analysts estimate that the sugar tariffs enriches just 5 families in America.
Trade restrictions by foreign governments simply punish the citizens of that nation. Trump’s policy proscriptions for trade would be disastrous for us, but him bringing the issue to the forefront is of benefit. We can do a general regulatory and tax repeal to supercharge the economy part of which can be removing the restriction on exporting oil. They also might pass a Respect for Private Property bill that forces NIMBYs to absorb the losses of owners not allowed to build, essentially loser pays. That should cut down quite a bit on nuisance suits in federal court.
