By "pique", I mean that the motivating factor I've heard from most Trump people, and that I'm reading from your posts, is "make the libs cry".

First term was fine, he was mostly harmless and made the libs cry every day with fake culture war stuff.

In 2024 I get the impression people were voting for a repeat of that, not some crazy reconfiguration of the entire economy. Trump ran on "they're making your kids trans and the Somalis are eating dogs", not "we will end global trade and deport anyone who criticizes Israel".



It’s the same ideology being pushed by the same people. In particular, mass immigration and free trade are two sides of the same globalization coin.

And stopping outsourcing was #5 on Trump’s platform: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/platform
