Trump has resurrected everything bad from our past: the rise of the Robber Barons, nepotism and the spoils system, internment camps, the rise of fascism in the 1930’s, racism and restricted rights for women. He has also looked at world history to find its worst practices: Mercantilism, an economic practice from the 16th to the 18th centuries of using trade protection (e.g., tariffs and other trade barriers) as a form of economic warfare. Mercantilism was thoroughly debunked by Adam Smith in the 18th century. His book, “The Wealth of Nations” gave rise to modern economics, something they apparently don’t teach at Wharton. Now he has rediscovered Imperialism. What wonders await us? As my European friends are saying, “Canada and Mexico border on stupidity.”
In this time the Robber Barons are armed with reality twisting AI. To deceive. A reality written by the mentally twisted, like this goofball Curtis. When the incoming Vice President, and potential future President, admires an evil "genius" like Curtis, the nation is truly at risk.
Heather Cox Richardson has a few choice words to say about the Orange Shitstain's latest dicta on the role of the President and how it harkens back to the 1880s. She's written a number of columns about it recently.

Exactly. He’s Taking America Back(wards).
Promises made. Promises kept.

If we allow the nuts to manifest their version of reality, humanity is toast.
And this. Just say no.

She's not a fan.
They are aiming for The Gilded Age Part 2
The only thing that putz learned at Wharton was how to cheat & grift
He learned that from his father. He didn't learn a thing at Wharton.
Tim, more history to investigate. Thx for the info.
