Command economies

"Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA."
The whole "hereby ordered" thing was the starting part to me. Not saying that Trump craves a complete command economy. But he has some scary-arse tendencies and he's definitely on the spectrum.
Command economies come in different shapes and sizes. You don't have to go all Bolshevik Lenin socialist.
You can go the fascist route and still have shop owners and factory owners. But in the process strong arm. Pick winners and losers. Choose who to work with and who to bury. Russia is trending towards a control/kleptocracy economy. Be friendly with some oligarchs and bury the rest.
In this regard Trump definitely is on the fascist spectrum. Then again, however, Obama's bank bailouts were also on the fascist spectrum. Winners and losers were picked. Grin and bear it. America's WWII economy also was full-blown fascist.
That's why it's important to call out fascist and un-American tendencies whenever you see it. It's nothing personal against Trump. I think that he's a giant pansy and has the emotional intelligence of a 16 year old, but Trump doesn't give me any strong or adverse emotional reaction. We only have either 1 more or 5 more years of this mania. This too shall pass!!!

It’s cute the way Trump beta bootlickers daily insist that we should ignore Trump’s actual words and actions. They suggest we should ignore what’s right in front of us all. It doesn’t get more ridiculous than that.
Perhaps the Trump lovers should consider what Trump actually says and does. Live in reality.

He can make authoritative statements without taking authoritative actions, almost the exact opposite of the Left-wing loons you idolize.
The right is simply able to differentiate between “mean words” and real policy changes that are far more destructive unlike you soy-infested communists

It's cute that you have no idea how to read Trump.

You are literally to judge someones by their actions and not words.
Hussein was the opposite. He had great words while his actions systematically destroyed America.
Thats how they control people like you. It makes you feel good to hear good words. You don't see the actions and results.

Does it ever get tiring swallowing shiny hook after shiny hook?
