William Jennings Bryan Trump?

[cawacko]

Trump gave a big economic speech this morning. Here are some of the tweets I'm seeing about it:



""Trump positions himself way left of Clinton w/trade speech that could easily be given by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or Richard Trumka.""


"Trump now invoking Bernie Sanders on economic policy"


""How GOP supply-siders think they're going to build a more dynamic market economy on Trump's retrograde protectionism is beyond me""


""Donald Trump citing @EconomicPolicy in a speech is causing me vertigo.""


""This Trump speech is mercantilism, plain and simple.""


""Trump vows to return U.S. trade policy to what it was in the 1700s, when nearly all government revenues came from tariffs.""


""Donald Trump's policy proposal amounts to making the cost of goods more expensive for poor people.""


""Trump's zero sum economic views fit perfectly for a real estate developer.""





Pretty amazing to see a party move this far left economically so quickly.

Edit: Sorry, left out the link to the speech:

If abandoning a system of economics that has failed as badly as supply side economics makes Trump a leftist liberal than you're on the extreme far right of economics. Supply side economics has as much free market validity as communism and has failed just about as badly.

I'll give Trump credit for that. At east he acknowledges that Supply Side economics is a gross failure and is really just revers socialism.

Spare me your anti supply side rhetoric. Trump is going back in time. If you support this maybe the Democrats are too far right for you.
