“The Presidency is called the EXECUTIVE BRANCH for a reason. While there MAY still be time to save what’s left of America – the IDEA – perhaps we should consider electing an ACTUAL EXECUTIVE who has built and run a successful BUSINESS ENTERPRISE?”
Can’t be repeated often enough, Dick.
What other job can you think of where hirees routinely have NO prior experience, or proven ability to do the job? And we wonder why our country is in such a mess.
Probably the key reason that I trust Trump over all others in this election, is that he’s the only one with any actual executive experience. In fact, it’s his chief strength.
You think the NY Times is endorsing Trump?
You don’t understand the liberal mind, if you think that’s what the article’s about.
FINALLY!
FINALLY!
Who since 2011 is cashing in on Iraqi oil under Bobo? Freaking ISIS!
Absolutely and if you dont like it to bad!
Trump has been saying these same things about foreign policy for decades. In the late 80’s he bought full page ads arguing that Japan and Saudi Arabia should be paying more for their own defense. At least according to the article linked.
It was nice of the NYTs to publish another positive political ad for Trump gratis.
John Stossel, who I generally like, once said: “So what if the factories are gone ? I don’t want my kids working in a ball bearing plant, do you ? It’s a good thing those smelly polluting industries can be done elsewhere.”
He is a libertarian and follows a pure free trade line which amount to Globalism. But the flaw should be obvious. When these industries are all gone, we are at the mercy of foreign countries. When we produce no products, there is nothing for those other countries to buy from us — so there is a huge pool of OUR money that can only be used to buy up our assets, real estate, companies, intellectual properties, media properties, etc. It leads directly to foreigners being our landlords, our employers, and generally the arbiters of our fate.
If the price of maintaining our own industrial base is that some of our kids have to work in hot smelly factories, that is by far the better decision.
The tone of the article makes it clear they think Trump’s policies are crazy, so you are safe.
Even our “friends” like Germany screw us on trade by subsidizing their own exports with VAT rebates while slapping a 20% VAT on American goods sold there.
OK by me.
The writer obviously thinks he is showing how CRAZY Trump’s ideas are. It is not supposed to be a favorable article.
Don't forget the option to renew if it works out OK....
That sounds like a perfect strategy to me. It is tiresome that the USA supports all of the world’s losers.
And so what’s wrong with that?
With liberals, America comes last
The difference is Cruz would be in there and nobody would be cooperating with him, including or especially the Republicans and nothing would get done. Donald the Dealer may seem at odds with the congress right now, but he’ll reach out and make friends and get most of the Republicans following his lead. I think a lot of them might do the right thing if the were given the right leadership and something other than sh!t sandwiches to vote on.
Libertarian party is fatally flawed on borders and trade; also, on the need for strong military (though non-interventionist).
In the full NYT transcript, Trump stated that he disagreed with Reagan on one issue: his early endorsement of NAFTA (though it was eventually completed by Bill Clinton).
Personally, I will always believe that Reagan was NOT fundamentally in favor of globalist trade policies. He was focused on other things, i.e., the Evil Empire and tax reform. Also, the evidence was not yet manifest about the evils of NAFTA and similar agreements.
MOre like orange; it’s the orange revolution.
