Never got past the title

Too bad WaPo is behind a paywall, because the title alone for this piece will make me smile all day:  "Trump Using Tariffs to Advance Radical Free-Trade Agenda."  (Link at RealClearPolitics.)  Have you been wondering how Trump critics reconcile themselves to a sudden concern about the evil of tariffs and a sudden enthusiasm for free trade?  It's finally possible to oppose the President, tariffs, and free trade all at the same time.

  2. Not to mention that they are now willing to stand up to Putin (though they couldn't stand up to Matt Lauer), and are now the patriot party shouting "USA! USA!"

  3. I LOVED the video of them shouting "U.S.A.!" in Congress. We're going to be using that footage forever. Someone may even have to edit the extremely snarky Wikipedia entry under "U.S.A. chant" to explain why it's suddenly OK again.

    Somewhere Milton and Rose Friedman are looking at each other and wondering if they can get permission to go haunt the headline writer's econ teacher.
