Precisely. Trump's approach would seem kinda like our having Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Croly be reincarnated, only this time with orange hair.

A few years ago, Jonah Goldberg wrote a great book about the ideology of "rule by experts." The book was entitled, Liberal Fascism.

But since the Trumpsters usually don't read the articles around here, I guess I shouldn't bother recommending a book to them.

In a previous thread I said he was more similar to a Teddy Roosevelt or Taft type of Nationalist progressive than an actual conservative. But who knows what he really is. I think his words mean nothing.
