How Trumpism has come to define the Republican Party

Over just a few days last week, the essence of Trumpism was on global display: The president ignored his advisers by congratulating Vladi­mir Putin, took the first steps toward imposing tariffs on billions of dollars in Chinese goods and signed a huge $1.3 trillion spending bill that will balloon the federal deficit.
 
In each case, President Trump cast aside years of Republican orthodoxy — and most of the party followed right along. The raw, undefined brand of populism that Trump rode into office is now hardening into a clearer set of policies in his second year, remaking the Republican Party and the country on issues ranging from trade and immigration to spending and entitlement programs.

Even amid persistent unpopularity and the chaotic din of his White House, Trump has used a mix of legislation and unilateral actions to successfully push ahead with key parts of his vision — tariffs that have rocked global markets; harsh crackdowns on illegal immigrants; a nationalistic foreign policy that spurns allies while embracing foes and costly policies with little concern for the growing national debt.

Sorry I have to laugh at this.

Now, NOW suddenly the COMPOST is all concerned about the growing national debt after Obama's spending avalanche they cheered?

These Commie-Lib-Leftists are at least good for a laugh while they destroy the country.

Didn't Schumer and Pelosi celebrate that all that spending was a "victory" for the Democrats?

Funny how WP wants it both ways...

And they get it too.

And so do we... right up the keester, and we're told to bend over and enjoy it because when we bail out one failed Democrat area of the country - everyone prospers.
