Trump’s New Nationalism

“President Trump’s grand economic vision relies on a simple tradeoff: that Americans will accept short-term personal sacrifice — higher prices, fewer options, slimmer profits — in service of long-term national strength,” Axios reports.

“Trump is breaking sharply from free-market orthodoxy in his second term, blending bursts of anti-capitalism with a top-down, nationalist agenda for American dominance.”

“Critics on the left and right warn of an emerging ‘MAGA Maoism’ — a movement that demands ideological purity, glorifies economic sacrifice, and embraces state power as a means to reshape society.”
