We have reached a point where the Chinese government is channeling Ronald Reagan.
Never thought I’d see the day that the People’s Republic of China would circulate a video of Ronald Reagan to inveigh against a Republican president who has imposed the largest tax increase in American history

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

So as near as I can tell, the biggest stock market crashes have come in 2025 (Trump), 2020 (Trump), 2008 (Bush 2.0), 1987 (Reagan) and 1929 (Hoover).
I will give an e-wooden nickel to anyone who can tell me what they all have in common.

Republicans have used George Soros as a bogeyman although there is no sign of Soros having much influence on any Democratic administrations. But if Democrats continue to use Elon Musk as a bogeyman next month when Trump pretends to have sidelined him, that will be demagoguery of the highest order.
