Donald Trump ditched free market ideology for nationalism — and it's working
Donald Trump ditched free market ideology for nationalism — and it's workingby Matthew Yglesias at Vox

"SNIP...........
And what is Trump's agenda? A revived and unapologetic American nationalism, which will stand for American interests abroad while defending the traditional conception of the American nation at home. This line runs through Trump's views on a wide range of issues:
On trade, he wants to revise existing deals and replace them with ones that the United States will "win."
On foreign policy, he is suspicious of idealistic ventures but willing to be maximally brutal and maximally avaricious when force does need to be used.
On drug prices, he wants the US government to stop acting like the biggest sucker in the world by letting itself get ripped off by rootless multinational firms.
On immigration, what really needs to be said.
