What Donald Trump has been subjected to since the election is enough to drive anyone crazy. And it has. He and his most fervent supporters are blind to anything but vengeance. Trump has never been one for moderation and his tweets continue to be vicious and hateful. He is also completely unhinged. The latest evidence is in his statements about what he would do if he is re-elected. You would think a serious thinker, especially one with four years in the White House would be making a thoughtful agenda. Doesn’t he want to curtail the Administrative State? Doesn’t he want to throttle back the Green New Deal? Doesn’t he want strong borders? Doesn’t he want energy independence? Doesn’t he want a strong, sane foreign policy? Doesn’t he want to address the threat of China? Does he want to defend Taiwan? Doesn’t he want constitutional judges? Doesn’t he want to minimize government intrusion in our lives? Doesn’t he?
Why of course but he also now wants a major expansion of government. He is proposing an “anti-woke” national university funded by confiscating private university endowments. Libertarians once shouted “taxation is theft!” Do you think they – and other conservatives – would sanction the theft of private university endowments? Trump simply wants a way to go after the “elite” universities that hate him. He also wants the government to fund 10 “freedom cities” on federal lands. This is simply beyond bizarre and would require even more government bureaucracies and more government spending. Of course he would also initiate the “Justice” department to wage war on all his enemies – a monumental task.
Trump is now certifiable and frightening.
Four more years? Again, as a dear friend has said “OMG! You mean I am going to have to vote for Trump again?”
