Thing That We Wanted To Do Was

We Can't Leave Everything To The Free Market. In Fact, Climate Change Is, I Would Argue, The Greatest Single Free-market Failure. This Is What Happens When You Don't Regulate Corporations And You Allow Them To Treat The Atmosphere As An Open Sewer.

Like Russia's Gangsterism And Bush's Cronyism, Contemporary Iraq Is A Creation Of The Fifty-year Crusade To Privatize The World. Rather Than Being Disowned By Its Creators, It Deserves To Be Seen As The Purest Incarnation Yet Of The Ideology That Gave It Birth.

I'm Not Talking About Trump's Brand But Rather The Intimately Connected Brand Called "make America Great Again" That He Created To Make All These Promises To Working Americans - Is Intensely Vulnerable, If There Is Sustained Scrutiny Of The Kind We've Seen About Comey And Russia. He's Appointed Five Goldman Sachs Former Executives To His Cabinet, His Commerce Secretary Is Renegotiating Nafta To Make It Far Better For Corporations And Worse For Workers, And They're Talking About This Right Out In The Open... I Mean, How Much News Have You Seen About That?

The Reason Why Nothing Sticks To Trump - Or Very Little Sticks To Trump - Is That Trump Created His Brand Idea That Has To Do With Being The Guy Who Gets Away From It.

The Fact That Trump's Refused To Divest From His Labyrinth Of Business Holdings, The Fact That He's Continuing To Profit From His Brand And Indeed Create All Kinds Of New Opportunities To Profit Off The Presidency Is Outrageous.

You Know, The Reason You Want A President To Divest From His Business Holdings Is That Foreign Governments Can Try To Exert Pressure On Him By Becoming Customers Of These Hotels And Inflating The Value Of How Much They're Willing To Pay For A Trump Brand.
