This is an interesting segment with Donald Trump, (unannounced) 2012 GOP Presidential candidate.
Some highlights:
- Wants to be tough in all US/Foreign negotiations, especially related to money.
- Wants to put a tariff on China (part of tougher negotiations).
- Doesn't say anything about eliminating income tax before adding Tariffs.
- He has concerns about the devaluation of the US dollar.
- He doesn't want to "Police" the world, wants to withdraw from Afghanistan immediately (has no problem with war though).
- Doesn't want to use our military to defend South Korea (or other countries) unless they pay for the service.
- Talks about "compassionate conservatism", probably wants Federal health-care.
Bottom line, if you are a paleo-conservative and have concern about the bad treaties and deals that are being made, you might find some interesting things. In that respect, Trump might be good as chief US negotiator. He always has his eye on the money. Other than that, he says nothing about limited government or the Constitution. Right now, it seems like he just thinks that he can run government more efficiently (financially), leaving it pretty much the same. Another big government "conservative"?
