Trump Blasts the Koch Brothers and Their ‘Bad Ideas’

July 31, 2018 (EIRNS)—Demonstrating again that he is capable and willing in a fight to burn bridges with Republican Party Wall Street moneybags, President Trump put out a scorching tweet this morning against the notorious multi-multi-billionaire Koch brothers. The Koch family are leading funders of the Mont Pelerin Society and its movements and centers promoting the feudalist Austrian School of Economics, not to mention every anti-labor politician and outfit they can find.

Startling the recipients of the Kochs’ largesse, the President tweeted:

“The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade. I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer. Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn. They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, I’m for America First & the American Worker—a puppet for no one. Two nice guys with bad ideas. Make America Great Again!”
