James Delingpole specializes in climate topics at Breitbart London, but
his political takes are always thoughtful. Here are some of his remarks on
President Trump’s two most recent nominations/appointments (“Trump’s picks Just Get Better and Better”):
Larry Kudlow’s appointment as
President Trump’s next Economic Czar has been anti-endorsed by at least two of
my favorite foaming leftists.
Here’s Jonathan Chait in New York Mag:
Trump’s New Economic
Adviser Lawrence Kudlow Has Been Wrong About Everything for Decades
Here’s Soros-funded Think Progress:
Trump’s new economics director is a climate denier who
thinks animals can ‘snuggle’ under pipelines.
Could there be any more encouraging a sign that with his latest
appointments, Trump is right over the target?
I wrote the other day that Mike Pompeo was a great choice for Secretary of
State – way better than the corporatist swamp denizen Rex Tillerson. But I
think I’m even more excited about Kudlow.
First, it means that the battle for the soul of the Trump administration’s
economic policy has been won by the Art-Laffer-style supply siders. (This was by no means a given: remember
all those GOP experts who told us in the early days that Trump was just a
Democrat wearing Republican clothing…?).
Second, Kudlow – like Pompeo, unlike their respective predecessors
Tillerson and Gary Cohn – is a climate change skeptic.
The rest of Delingpole’s comments are here.
