I rather intellectually light opinion piece. Like a supporter of no conviction who had to turn in a homework assignment.
My only comment would be his point on Trump not being a free trader. Trump is a free trader. A free trader wants to show a profit or a strategic transaction in order to make a bigger profit.
But American politicians trade in a different currency. In the past we offered lopsided trades for good will and valuable considerations in global politics and all that good will and valuable considerations have been all spent.
Now it’s about the money. Remove the politicians and send in the money men. Because I don’t like globalism, but if it’s happening, I want the U.S to be the one determining the terms of globalization.
There's a big difference between a Free Trader, and a Free Traitor, which is what the Chamber of Commerce, Ryan, McConnell and (sadly) Levin are.
