Republicans so don't want Trump to run for President. And they so don't want congress to implement any policies. Then again maybe it is a bait and switch to get MAGA out to vote in the midterms?
My late brother got shown that Laffer napkin trick when he was
at Harvard in the early to mid 1980s by Laffer himself. He and his friends had just read Ayn Rand. I think they trucked Laffer out to do the napkin trick everywhere where young people could be influenced. Didn't work. My brother got into an incident with anti-union forces at his university in Japan. Some anti-union stooge tried to get him, an English teacher, to sign something in Japanese. My brother, a union organizer there, could not read Japanese and suspected something. He grabbed the contract and the stooge grabbed my brothers book bag. My brother would not trade. He wanted to get the contract translated. Sure enough it was an attempt to get my brother to agree to be fired if he did any union organizing. Thankfully the courts in Japan take a dislike to ruining union organizing... or at least the laws there do. He sued the guy who took his bag. He had a sec to decide what was more important and union won out. They fired him anyways. Fortunately he had other Universities to teach at.
My mom was private about her politics. It was very personal to her. She hated gerrymandering in the US. I know that much. My Dad was the one who talked politics every day. They had election parties. They lived in the bureaucratic enclave in Ottawa so everyone was informed. Still my dad and 19 year old me got snowed into voting for Conservative Mulroney. I realized the error of my ways and never voted for them again.
