matt taibbi nails it, as usual

In any case, Trump says he'll call Detroit carmakers into his office and lay down an ultimatum: Either move the jobs back to America, or eat a 35 percent tax on every car imported back into the U.S. over the Mexican border.

"I'm a free-trader," he says, "but you can only be a free-trader when something's fair."

oh and the other matt taibbi fan here who often mocks american politics from afar and offers advice laced with sarcasm to us american voters, the one who hasn't been seen here lately, i am sure will be wondering why us folks who talk the talk, won't get behind sanders. in fact i am surprised she hasn't already piped up yet. in case she is wondering, the reason is quite simple -- we don't want to be taxed to kingdom come, just like she doesn't want to be taxed to kingdom come.
