    That fucker is downright mercantilist.

    Also a fake populist. He says things that seem like he will work to benefit the working class, but completely lies to them and screws them over at every opportunity.

    The imminent $6T tax cut for the rich and corporations will be Trump’s magnum opus.

      fake populist

      AKA “demagogue.” That’s the essential difference between Trump and a populist like Bernie Sanders: Trump is a demagogue; Sanders isn’t.
