Image: Tasos Katopodis/Pool via CNP US PRESIDENT DONALD Trump rallied right-wing activists yesterday with a speech touching on immigration, trade and the threat of “socialism”.
It was his first public appearance since coming home empty-handed, and to criticism from all sides, after a nuclear-disarmament summit with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un. Trump, often speaking in mocking tones, portrayed the Green New Deal climate strategy touted by the left of the Democratic party as a socialist plan that will devastate the fossil fuel and automotive industries.
On the foreign front, Trump repeated his claim that the last Islamic State group fighters in Syria would be captured or killed imminently – “as of tomorrow”.Two weeks earlier Trump had declared the fall of the so-called caliphate would be announced “over the next 24 hours.” The beauty is this. I have $250 billion more to put tariffs on. The word “socialism” has been in heavy rotation since some Democratic candidates began openly embracing liberal platforms including the Green New Deal and a Medicare for All.
