Summary:
Donald Trump had all the right enemies while in office--but that was about all he had right. And with the election of 2024 fast approaching, the essence of the moment is this: Lock him out of both the nomination and the Oval Office. David Stockman, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Great Deformation, dissects Trump's economic policies and exposes him as the failed businessman that he is--not a conservative and definitely not a Republican. The border wall, the tariff war with China, and Trump's disastrous response to COVID-19 were all remarkably misguided failures of policy that hurt American prosperity. Even his claims of job creation fell flat too--Trump's tenure was the only presidential term in which private payrolls in the US economy actually shrank--well, at least since Herbert Hoover! America cannot endure another four years of Donald Trump. Nor, can it tolerate another election where a woebegone Democrat wins by default owing to the simple fact that they are not Donald Trump. Trump's War on Capitalism exposes his miserable record as a big spender, easy moneyman, hard-core protectionist, immigrant-basher, militarist, and all-around Big Government statist--all reason enough to lock Trump out of the 2024 election.
