Sucks to be Donald Trump this weekend. His skin-deep support among Republicans and conservatives is already fraying:
First he almost starts a nuclear war between India and Pakistan and his response is "What'd I do?"
Then he almost brings about the nuclear destruction of Taiwan and a state of war between China and the US. Again his reaction is "What'd I do? The President of Taiwan CALLED ME." (His caps, not mine.)
And then Sarah Palin, of all people, calls his corrupt deal with Carrier "crony capitalism" and a "hallmark of corruption."
SARAH PALIN: When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent. Meanwhile, the invisible hand that best orchestrates a free people’s free enterprise system gets amputated. Then, special interests creep in and manipulate markets. Republicans oppose this, remember? Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is one big fail.
Politicians picking and choosing recipients of corporate welfare is railed against by fiscal conservatives, for it’s a hallmark of corruption. And socialism. The Obama Administration dealt in it in spades. Recall Solyndra, Stimulus boondoggles, and all their other taxpayer-subsidized anchors on our economy. A $20 trillion debt-ridden country can’t afford this sinfully stupid practice, so vigilantly guard against its continuance, or we’re doomed.
Reaganites learned it is POLICY change that changes economic trajectory. Reagan’s successes were built on establishing a fiscal framework that invigorated our entire economy, revitalized growth and investment while decreasing spending, tax rates, over-reaching regulations, unemployment, and favoritism via individual subsidies. We need Reaganites in the new Administration.
However well meaning, burdensome federal government imposition is never the solution. Never. Not in our homes, not in our schools, not in churches, not in businesses.
His presidency is going to fail--and fail spectacularly. Too bad the rest of the world may get destroyed before he's impeached.
