Republicans say they hate communists. So why do they like Donald Trump?
Trump supporters may be surprised to learn the state takeover of means of production is not driven by the left

How much time do you think Trump has? Here he is at Dublin with a very noticeable face droop, multiple right arm twitches, and a more than usual confused look. Even Eric seems concerned at the first arm twitch.
