Again, and once more with feeling…..

We’ve elected an outsider to a Constitutionally weak office and expect him to fix everything. The only way to continue change is to change the rest of the poltroons in D.C.

The Presidency is the new shiny. The actual power lies in the bureaucracy and Congress.

One could argue well for keeping some production of stuff under government control, because their supply is necessary for the military to hold the borders. But even if North Korea had world monopoly on ammonium perchlorate, I’m sure domestic providers would pop up within days if they boycotted the US. It is not a “strategically” crucial high tech component. (Isn’t this one of the bomb stuffs that a terrorist can cook up in their own kitchen?)

Joe–
Nominally, Trump himself would like to return to the status quo of 2005-ish, and at best, he would like to return to the Clinton era of the mid 90’s. (with a huge dose of Industrial policy & protectionism thrown in the mix.)

As for swamp-draining activities, first thing he did out of the gate, was to appoint Priebus as chief of staff. There will be very little draining, going on.
(Then, they all acquiesced to turning a national security investigation, into a Trump hunting criminal investigation, which will consume 2 years.)
Ryan and Mitch (with their friends Chuck & Nancy) largely control everything and are more concerned with keeping their fiefdom’s, and will continue to do the same lying, crony, rino, collude-with-the opposition, stuff they have always done, without fail. They will suck up to Trump when they see political-advantage, and quietly stab him in the back on everything else.

This does not make America great again! What happened to drain the swamp, all I see are establishment types feathering their nests at the expense of citizens, they know they can get away with it and do so.

Duncan Hunter, has a Conservative Review liberty-score, of 66%.

Huntsman announced in May, it is merging with Clariant Corp in a $20 billion deal, which will make it the worlds leader in (certain) specialty chemicals.

ALL the Huntsman’s, are crony-rino’s. The old-man only slightly less so.
