In reply to the discussion: Trump lashes out at Leonard Leo, legal activist who helped him pick Supreme Court justices: "Probably hates America" [View all]FakeNoose
(40,185 posts)32. The unwashed MAGA hordes don't care about any of this
... as long Chump keeps up with his racist and sexist dog whistles, that's what matters to them. Leonard Leo's power is the influence he has with ultra-wealthy GOP donors who tend to cloak their racism in economic terms, just as you've laid out here. Well done!
Chump must be thinking that he doesn't need Leo as long as he has the MAGAs. Or maybe he's wondering how long it will take for Leo to come groveling back.

OP
Leonard Leo hates tariffs. To Trump, that makes Leo a "sleazebag" who "probably hates America."

Wow. For once, he actually managed to stupidly attack someone who is arguably even fucking worse than he is.

It will certainly be another jab in the eye of the free trade conservatives

The greatest takeaway is how the irreligious tRUMP has used these christo-fascist sleazebags to further his agenda

Trump's economic ideas are a mix of 19th century (18th, even!) nonsense and Hitlerian fascism

Excellent! The radical right wealthy are going to be forced to take him down.

Clearly Leonard Leo "hates America" but for different reasons that Taco Dump imagines.
