The Chinese government feared Trump. They laugh at demented Biden and his milksop minions.
Here’s someone I don’t miss:

Since he was willing to doze through the IRS scandals, doze through the abuse of Gen. Flynn, doze through rank insubordination in the security state, doze through mass violence, doze through the shambolic exercises in ‘public health’, doze through the vote fraud, I don’t ever want to hear this man’s voice again.
The biggest piece of double think in the world today is the consistent praise of democracy and hatred towards populism.
I mean, you can attack either individually. But there’s no way you can keep the ideas “democracy is great because it lets the will of the people be heard” and “populism is bad because it lets the masses overrule the opinions of experts” in your head without doublethink.
“Here’s someone I don’t miss:”
A complete fraud. After he got his two terms courtesy of conservatives, the mask was dropped.

What’s inane about Bush’s complaint is that our populists aren’t a bunch of Peronists. They offer passably sensible programs. The main differences between Trump and the Bush / Ryan / McConnell GOP are that he was brash and vulgar (but not inclined to be craven), not interested in spending political capital on trying to implement insipid ideas found in white papers from AEI and Heritage, not interested in tossing bon bons at the Chamber of Commerce (see Mitch McConnell’s scamming around to preserve the Export-Import Bank), not interested in scamming the public by pitching 1,000 page compendia of carve-outs as ‘free trade treaties’ (scams characters like Tyler Cowan are complicit in), but quite interested in enforcing the immigration laws even if it makes domestic help more expensive. The political oppositions is, of course, economically illiterate and committed to using the state to feed their clientele. The GOPe isn’t economically illiterate; they just don’t care about anyone who isn’t funding their campaigns or promising lobbying gigs to them when they’re out of office; they do very little in Washington or state capitols to shut off the funding pipelines which keep the left alive.
