Trump really trashed the World Economic forum today. He simply told world leaders, get on the bus and get rich or get off the road entirely, cause you're about to get run over.

He was particularly interested in why the EU was so upside down in trade with the US to benefit the EU. Changes are coming. Hopefully this is the end of the European Union, which could mean the end of George Soros and his Open Society (aka One World Order)

The beginning of Populism around the world hopefully. Let the people go free!
Populism isn't what's needed. Bold "Americanism" is good, which Trump is projecting. History is full of the dangers of populism.


Popularism is what gives Americanism its energy and its ability to mobilize the people to great projects while at the same time not forget the common man and his basic economic and human needs.

You just seem to want Great Power Empire stuff and hate the common man.

At heart you are an elitist
Mao and Pol Pot were populists as was Adolph Hitler..



Communism and Fascism were literally futuristic-messianic movements that preached that a "woke" ideology elite would be the vanguard that would lead their societies to a future utopia.

No good examples in your fear of populism and the common man influencing his government

Not to mention it's not a dictatorship of the majority that you really fear (the Founding Fathers worry & their desire to have a Republic vs a Athenian style democracy)

You just seem to dislike common people and any programs/political movements that might help them

And are overly trusting of elites
Barack Obama was a populist if you need something local and recent.

I can tell you use populist as a insult but did not realize it has always been used as a pejorative

[Populism is a range of political stances that emphasize the idea of the common 'people' and often position this group in opposition to a perceived 'elite'. It is frequently associated with anti-establishment sentiment. The term developed in the late 19th century and has been applied to various politicians, parties and movements since that time, often as a pejorative. Within political science and other social sciences, several different definitions of populism have been employed, with some scholars proposing that the term be rejected altogether.]

[populism
noun

[ol]
  • a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups.]
  • [/ol]

    Actually that perfectly describes Obama's populism. He appealed to black Americans. Said they had always been disenfranchised, that the government was the establishment, whites the elites, minorities the marginalized.

    I am stretching a bit, because he was not so obvious, but that was his political message that black America received. That's why minorities turned out in drives to vote for him. It was absolutely populism.

    Let's not get carried away.

    Hell Biden had even higher approval ratings this early in.

    But if Trump can reduce interest rates and lower transportation cost……he stands a real chance for widespread popularity.

    Trump has these LA/SoCal officials eating out of his hands in the town hall meeting in Los Angeles. He's put no stipulations on the Federal government helping out although someone did bring up the $50mil that Newsom is going to use to fight Trump on illegal immigrants. Thought he might bring up using voter ID also, but he hasnt.

    Much like the last one; this Mexican president is owned by the drug cartels.

    Trump is going to need to impose a tariff on all Mexican goods.

    Effective immediately.

    "good start but can we also deport all communitsts as well as all islamists?"
    Whether or not I am in agreement with the concept, isn't this another swipe at the Constitution as it regards freedom of religion (Islamists)?

    For the rest of us sane people, we're all asking why if ICE was overwhelmed, hasn't this happened before? We know why, Dems and globalists want to eliminate the "American identity and culture".

    Mark Cuban calling Trump lazy at the 3:05 mark. Comedy gold.

    Cuban is such a clown sometimes, he is trying to position himself to be a Presidential candidate in the coming years. Would be a big mistake for conservatives to underestimate him though. They should never trust him.

    Gang of 8 or something. Sold someone out. Gotta look it up again.

    Got it, here's a quote:

    Quote:

    Rubio's flip-flop on upfront legalization for unauthorized immigrants damaged his image as a conviction politician. Immigration is the issue that most bitterly divides GOP elites from Republican voters, and so Rubio going over to the side of the donors and the lobbyists damaged his image as a populist.

    I'd have to know he was a changed man before voting for him based on the above.

    I'll never get excited for Rubio. I cringe when I see conservatives happy he's in Trump's favor.

    Romney showed his true colors with Romneycare - he never changed.
