So...the party which supposedly stands up for the free play of the market is happy to legislatively interfere with the free play of the market.
Just like they're happy to legislatively interfere with the rights of individuals despite being the party which supposedly stands up for the rights of individuals.
Ri-i-i-ight.
That's one of the weirdest things about Trump's economic stance. He has absolutely no faith in free markets - in fact, I doubt he quite understands them. So, the era of free trade that was started under Reagan is going to come crashing down under another Republican. I suspect he doesn't understand that, whatever benefit he can get from such a stance, other countries won't idly sit by. They'll start building their own trade barriers, and international trade will grind to a halt.
Now, some people might say Fine! But most of those aren't CEOs of international companies or Republican theorists. So Trump is off on his own here.
