The only positive that I see from allowing these groups to exist in this country is their ideology is kept out front, instead of hiding an agenda.

"Recently, a prominent anti-Trump economist admitted what many on the right have been saying from the beginning: Trump’s tariff strategy wasn’t the reckless gamble the media made it out to be. Instead, it was a calculated move designed to protect American workers, revive domestic manufacturing, and put America’s interests first."
=======================================================================================================a==

I spent quite a bit of time yesterday in flame event with an unnamed Briefer about this very issue.  What these Anti-Trump economists and in the case of Briefer X, didn't realize that a lot of what Trump is doing in the area of tariffs straight from Calvin Coolidge's playbook.  Again.  Tariffs aren't the main event....   just one tool in the tool kit to deal with nations who want to take advantage of a country that allowed itself to be screwed by trading partners for decades.   This alone levels the playing field. 

Iif you could pull Trump off to the side, I am sure he'd say as the ultimate capitalist, that in the real world there would be no tariffs, no currency manipulation, or other tactics  to "game" the system. 

Ridiculous pap.

Thomas Massie Gets Brutal Re-Election Update Amid Feud With Trump

Signs of wear and tear on the image of Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) are becoming more evident after months of eviscerating criticisms by President Donald Trump.

Massie has been at the forefront of a small band of hardline fiscal conservatives threatening to hold up Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax cut bill when it returns from Senate markups for a second vote. His outspoken opposition has drawn sharp words from Trump, who over the weekend announced that he would be investing heavily in a Republican challenger to defeat Massie in next year’s primary election.

Winning that battle may turn out to be easier than it initially appeared.

A new poll by Kaplan Strategies shows that the six-term lawmaker is viewed poorly by his constituents, the vast majority of whom would prefer that someone else take his place when the 120th Congress convenes in 2027.

Asked whether Massie deserves to be reelected, just 19% of respondents agreed, while 47% indicated they would be willing to support a challenger. If Trump were to endorse that challenger, Massie’s stature would fall even further to 14% while the challenger’s support would rise to 59%.
