What tripe.
Anything that veers from globalism sets off alarm bells with nro and the hill types. Lots of panty waists on FR too.
Not familiar with Dan McLaughlin. Is he always this clueless?
The Left likes to stereotype. It amuses them. So funny. So harmless.
But don't you try it. That would be bigotry and hate speech.
Jeez, what happened to The National Review?
Lots of panty waists on FR too.
Bears repeating. And the number is shocking high...
So let’s buy from a country that has nukes pointed at us. All because you want to have a toy from the latest crap Marvel film.
Dear National Review- what is your solution other than status quo?
Exactly.
I haven’t seen a worthwhile NR article for years and years, but this one is especially pathetic.
Bill Buckley died. A long time ago.
Christopher Buckley wasn't up to the task.
And here we are ...
Nonsense.
Trump was elected because even with the return of items to the shelves, people's incomes had dropped by at least 20% so many of those items were now unaffordable.
And this isn't simply a matter of income: to see your standard of living fall while government seeks to replace you with immigrants both legal and illegal and fawns over those looting the system at both the top and bottom is simply humiliating beyond belief.
They keep likening Trump to Hitler but they are very lucky Trump is not a demagogue seeking revolution by violence, because he would find ample support for doing so.
This NR guy. Ugh
Yes.
Has President Trump actually given a speech comparable to Carter’s “Malaise Speech”? Please provide a link to the speech if he has...
We are a long way down the road to what would be a disastrous end. Doing a 180 now is going to be next to impossible, but I have been amazed by what President Trump has managed to accomplish so far. But if you go to the National Review and look at the rest of what Dan McLaughlin has written... he is the one who is completely stuck on Malaise. He has been spewing a volume of anti-Trump rhetoric that is unmatched by anyone.
Unless you want to be bombarded with ads I would only open the following link in the “Brave Browser”:

I despise the RINOs at NRO. No matter what Trump says or does, they complain and insist it is the worst thing ever. Ever!, they say.
It is not as if the economy has gotten worse since January 20th. In my area, it is actually a bit better. Gas prices are down, and prices are starting to come down at my local Kroger.
The new investment by businesses is going to pay dividends for decades. Tariff deals are being made which will reduce costs for Americans and reduce our debt.
The same media that cheered for Biden’s dismal economy and ignored inflation’s pain inflicted on the middle class, is now insisting that tariffs have caused the store shelves to suddenly be bare and grandmas to resort to meals of catfood.
Yesterday there were pictures circulating on social media showing no activity at west coast ports. They blamed it on tariffs. However, the pictures were from 2020/2021 during Covid.
Didn’t he already win? Twice.
I’m so old I remember when the National Review was relevant.
It’s amazing how much anti-tariff orthodoxy has permeated “conservative” thinking. The inability to see their use even in obviously beneficial circumstances makes them look like flat-earthers.
One need only look at all the nations of the world who tried to adopt anti-protectionist policies only to consign their populations to eternal sweatshop status. Obviously there are limits to what tariffs can achieve (and they can hurt more than help if they are used inappropriately), but no national government that has two brain cells to rub together would write off using them.
