Trump getting mad at the Reagan ad is very funny. It just highlights a lot of the buffoonish, ad hoc economic policy that Trump is so gung ho on this admin. His economic populism really is a distraction from the identity+cultural issues, plus possibly pushing the US closer to recession territory

He's deporting nons who get free housing, health care while they grill and grape, lining the pockets of the rich race traitors who let poor whites pay for it, not to mention the social cost in terms of destroyed neighborhoods, crime. This is economic populism. Not to mention it's tightening the labor market and hiring for white men is up. So I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Given how many tariffs the rest of the world places on our goods, often quite high, America fighting fire with fire also seems like a good idea. If the world shouldn't dump their people here, they shouldn't dump their goods either. White people could use some economic populism. Laissez Faire has certainly been used as a bludgeon against them.

Most white people don’t work in manufacturing anymore, unless they’re like 50 years old. Also Americans like to buy cheap shit and have a high quality of life. I don’t think they’re going to sacrifice either of those things for an invisible white working class.
