Opinion Sometimes, Donald Trump tells the truth: His agenda is ideologically confusing but, as his Cabinet nominees show, he means it this time. - "Third, we’re going to need a new way of talking about parties and ideologies, because there’s really nothing conservative about what Trump is doing. Taken together, Trump’s roster of appointees represents a government that is contemptuous of military brass, intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement; that believes America is too bellicose and should negotiate with foreign dictators; that wants to stamp out the influence of pharmaceutical and agricultural companies; and that plans to protect American industries with sweeping new tariffs.
"Not so long ago, that’s what we would have recognized as a radical leftist agenda — the very nightmare that Ronald Reagan warned about. Perhaps it’s not surprising that both Kennedy and Gabbard were recently anti-establishment Democrats; in some ways, this iteration of Trumpism is verging much closer to Dennis Kucinich or Bernie Sanders than to the Bushes or Cheneys. Trump might, in the end, get us closer to the dreams of the leftist fringe than any Democratic leader in our lifetime."
