Calling out Trump for threatening high taxes on companies who shift jobs? Gov interference in the the economy. Trump is right here. But hypocrites come on down. Trump such a big government guy.

I see OP's arguments are from the wrestling promo school of political thought.

You assured (berated?) us for months that Hillary would win.

She didn't.

I think there's an assumption in your question that libertarians are okay with companies to use slave labor in china to sell electronics in the US?

Still here. I've been criticizing his carrier deal as crony capitalism and several of his cabinet picks as business as usual (Sessions and the Goldman Saches guy)

Libertarianism would be great.

But having hostile tribes invading and taking your shite forces your tribe to organize a common defense, and that means a certain amount of socialism is required. This is where nationalism comes in.

Yep, which is why y'all will love him JB.

He's a threat to free trade, not that anyone cares about that anymore.

Here is a really, really good breakdown on the efficacy of free-trade v employment.

ETA: For the record, contemporary American libertarianism is divided (quite heavily, I might add) in terms of cultural outlook. This is more of the battleground than pointing out wonky objections to policy.

Taxes suck. Trump should remove them.

There, happy?

I've said I support him creating incentives and environments for businesses to stay, not penalties for those who leave.

Almost no one actually believes in anything. It's a sport and 99% of people are just cheering for their team.
