    So, many of you may think Trump is either an insane leftist with all his anti capitalist policies or that he just slings shit at the wall like a madman or whatever. In addition to being an attack on economic freedom, these policies aren't even internally consistent.*** Let me explain.

    1. He wants to deport millions of illegals shrinking an already strained workforce. (we certainly do not need a lower UE rate)
    2. He wants to grow jobs here. He has enacted tariffs & promised more to create very expensive welfare jobs.
    3. Like a good little Marxist he continuously threatens companies in order to crush their economic freedom to produce their goods wherever they damn well please. I think John Deere was the latest victim.
    4. Elon Musk

    Whether you love radical communism or not, it seems crazy to simultaneously shrink the workforce while touting plans for an economic expansion. & all this with a very low UE rate.

    *** or maybe they are not inconsistent.

    It’s all going to work out. He is building a big beautiful door for them to all come back through on guest worker programs and e-verify. It’s all going to work out.

    Robots picking cotton. That is some dark humor.

    Random aside: why on earth would you ever program a robot to type? Just plug in a cable and off you go...

    He actually really is. He's super liberal on a lot of economic policies, which I don't want at all. I just want to cross-dress in peace without a govt led command Economy.

    He’s got some good ideas. He’s got some awful ideas like this one. He’s just so vile and disgusting. Wish he had a mute button.

    Back on topic, doesn’t it bother you that he wants to tell a private company providing a service how much they can charge for non-payment? Seems communist.

    Astute observation. One computer communicating to another would only have two non-physical “buttons” — 1 and 0.

    Exactly… there are a lot of people saying Elon is faking it when it comes to the how advanced his robots appear to be… including using remote controls and human controlled voices while saying they are autonomous and can have conversations. But it is cool that he is trying to build them, just wish there wasn’t a culture of lying at Tesla.

    Agreed. He’s conservative on social issues and liberal on economic ones. Ie the worst of both worlds.

    Good question but do populists actually have a vision grounded in a consistent governing approach? I feel like, by definition, they are cherry picking and pitching what disappointed and disaffected masses want to hear - and that isnt a consistent governing approach.
