Trump has staked out an agenda that includes government ownership stakes of private companies; generous checks handed out to every American adult, federal intervention in the bond market; greater government control over the economy; and government subsidies to certain Americans who don’t work.
In two separate instances on Capitol Hill yesterday, there were references to Trump effectively embracing his own brand of “communism.”
And while there’s no point in trying to reduce the midterms to two competing red scares, the underling criticisms are hardly baseless.
