Trump: No Free Market Conservative nor Constitutionalist Janet Levy Ross
His lack of character and moral reprobation aside (and his 3rd wife for First Lady!), he is no free market conservative or even a constitutionalist.
Trump supported Obama’s bailout of the auto industry and Stimulus program, government limits on executive pay, he favors big unions and tiered compensation, he agrees with government “takings” or eminent domain (he praised Kelo!), etc. He’s definitely not a champion of the free market with those views! (See my article on Kelo at American Thinker! The founders would be rolling over in their graves).
Trump favors suppressing speech and made several comments during the campaign about having the power to sue the press and stymie the critics. When the Club for Growth criticized his constantly changing taxation plans, he threatened them with a “cease and desist” notice. This is NOT a constitutionalist!
Add to the list that Trump is opposed to badly needed Medicare reform and prefers the disastrous Canadian-style universal healthcare plan. (This is why Canadians are sneaking over the border for medical care)! Plus, he agrees with the prosecution of “hate crimes” when we have adequate criminal laws in place that apply to everyone and don’t need to create privileged groups of victims. The law applies equally to everyone.
There’s so much more – flip-flopping on illegal immigration and H-1bs/H-2bs, praising myriad Communist leaders, off shore manufacturing, being “neutral” on Israel, etc.
Of course, no presidential candidate is perfect in all ways and on all issues. However, Trump is not presidential material in so many ways. Three A- polls (rated for past accuracy and survey design by FiveThirtyEight) predicted Trump losing against Hillary 9-13% and Cruz running dead even.
Let’s face it, no president will be able to undue over 60 years of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration. Just this week, ISIS leader, Al-Ansari, proclaimed the obvious – ‘Islamic State agents are working in Western airports, metro stations and “very sensitive facilities in the world.” Further, in an August 2015 report, the DHS Inspector General revealed that the TSA failed to identify 73 employees with terrorist affiliations working at 40 major airports.
Of course, there is a possibility that a massive attack on the homeland will preclude elections and result in the imposition of martial law.
However, our BEST hope is the only candidate – a seasoned lawyer and senator – who understands the jihadist threat and has even authored legislation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group.
Senator Ted Cruz had the perspicacity to appoint one of the top national security think tanks in Washington, D.C. to his team. The presidential hopeful is backed by the vast collective experience in intelligence, military, political and foreign policy of the Center for Security Policy. He is the ONLY choice.
Janet Levy,
Arenal, Costa Rica
