NPR's evidence that Trump is a "populist"—or at least has a populist lurking inside him—is remarkably thin.

The actual NPR article: Can Trump’s 2nd act work for the working class while giving back to his super donors?

I hate to do this, but: Betteridge’s law of headlines

Taking note from other dictatorial states, it could be in line with:

“Rude night-time drone attacks on Moscow”

“Chinese citizens begging the administration”

“Russian citizens begging Putin for help in oil spill disaster”

“Woman screaming at an apple in Hong Kong”

…and similar veiled critic presented as a “Plea to the King”.

Beehaw’s community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you’re nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it’s hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a “left vs right” debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
