“One of Capitolism’s frequent themes/laments is how President Donald Trump’s policies, especially but not only tariffs, have caused many Republicans to drift from their free market roots toward a more populist, interventionist (borderline Peronist) view of federal economic policy. Yet Trump’s rapid, unilateral imposition of new taxes on a wide range of imported goods also appears to have caused another metamorphosis: Many Democrats are suddenly sounding like libertarians.” (06/25/25)
