A socialist is someone who supports socialism. How do you call someone who supports capitalism?

The US importing stuff from other countries is "ripping off" America. Therefore, the minerals deal just signed with Ukraine is ripping off America.

Ok, this resonates with me. I would frame this differently: square sandwich bread is an abomination and not a real food, especially moist. It doesn't deserve to be called bread. Sandwiches on normal bread, on the other hand, are great! Hamburgers, wraps, pizza too.

'Rational' should not be used in reference to preferences or expectations. In the first case use goal-oriented, in the letter maybe consistent.

Nice thread/exchange and wise warnings. I am not that worried about the final result in the US, but the winding road. There is something unique about T that doesn't seem to spark the same following for other candidates.
