“Donald Trump is a socialist. When I write ‘socialist,’ I do not use the word the way most right-leaning commentators use it, meaning: ‘bad.’ … The thing about socialism is, it stays socialism — whether you like socialism or dislike it. It is a word that means something, and what it means isn’t every dumb thing you don’t like …. Trump can’t put names to faces for half of the people who work directly for him and invents imaginary countries from time to time. But, somehow, he knows what imported bananas from country X absolutely should cost relative to those from country Y — because neither a sparrow nor a drop of rain in Ecuador falls without his knowledge. Yeah. Donald Trump’s vision of the economy is classic socialism.” (05/07/25)
