A second Trump term comes with unacceptable risks Some key quotes from that known, left-wing rag - The Economist: The danger of Trump: "The answer is that today the risks are larger. And that is because Mr Trump’s policies are worse, the world is more perilous and many of the sober, responsible people who reined in his worst instincts during his first term have been replaced by true believers, toadies and chancers." "The president who mused about firing missiles at drug labs in Mexico was held back by the people and institutions around him. Since then the Republican Party has organised itself around fealty to Mr Trump." Domestically: "Good presidents unite the country. Mr Trump’s political genius is for turning people against each other. After the death of George Floyd, he suggested the army shoot protesters in the leg. America’s prosperity depends on the idea that people are treated fairly, regardless of their politics..." Economically: Trump’s economic “policies would be inflationary, potentially setting up a conflict with the Federal Reserve. They would risk igniting a trade war that would ultimately impoverish America.” Reality has a liberal bias.
The Economist has a lot of useful information but it is to left and too neocon for me. You can learn a lot by reading it, for sure. The guy that turned me on to reading The Economist was my friend Dr Paul East Raza (British mom, Paki dad). who lives in Chapala, Mexico, last I heard. Brilliant guy.
