Trump's Limited Hangout (2019)

And since “Big Government” produces big money profits, those billionaires had no intent to challenge military spending — they needed a candidate to champion warfare state spending. Thus the grass root Tea Party movement – originally of noble intent – presented big corporations and their media with an opportunity to incorporate a corporate-owned propaganda vehicle to control anti-corporate forces, within a movement under corporate control eventually finding candidate Trump.

Early in his campaign, populist Trump mouthed many Tea Party memes. Trump said he was opposed to the war in Iraq and foreign intervention; he said that McCain and Kissinger were bad guys, that we should have good relations with Russia, penalize corrupt banks, reign in Fed easing and spending, and tax China to save American jobs. The Tea Party had found its candidate.

Trump railed against taxation, against immigration, against Big Government. Trump advocated a radical cut to social spending programs, while encouraging and reinforcing the need for increased military spending, just as his corporate controllers advocated.

And so, we have the Trumpian Limited Hangout. On behalf of its wealthy patrons the Tea Party has morphed into the GOP of Donald J Trump.
