Applauding The Donald's Ongoing Creative Destruction
2018-06-29
[WND] Big Media, the policy veterans and the chancelleries across Europe and Britain are constantly complaining: Donald Trump has had the temerity to defy their international order, summit ‐ and seek peace ‐ with their enemies and mess with the multilateral maze they call agreements. He even declared, early in June, that the U.S. would be far better off if it negotiated bilateral trade agreements.

Or, in Trump speak, "country-on-country agreements."

But what does an entrenched punditocracy, a self-anointed, meritless intelligentsia (which is not very intelligent and draws its financial sustenance from the political spoils system), oleaginous politicians, slick media and big money care? They’ve all worked in tandem to advance a grand government ‐ national and transnational ‐ that aggrandizes its constituent elements, while diminishing those it’s supposed to serve.

These political players have built the den of iniquity Trump keeps trampling. Against these forces ‐ NAFTA, NATO, FBI, DOJ, CIA, a whole alphabet soup of acronyms that stands for the Permanent State, national and international ‐ is Trump, still acting as a political Samson that threatens to bring the house crashing down on its patrons.

And his latest: Trump’s judicial appointments, in particular, might just prove to be "his most enduring legacy," lamented the liberal Economist. These certainly threaten to cement the Supreme Court’s originalist bent:
