Was Trump a socialist?

Poll - Total Votes: 4

Of course, Libertarians are full of shit

Yes, giving hundreds of billions of dollars to big business is textbook socialism.

You can only vote on one answer.

According to the Libertarians he was, as his bailout, where he gave government money to big business was pure socialism!

Is that something socialist do? Well...

LOL. If you buy that corporations are people ... nah... not going there.

Folks that scream "socialism" whenever there's any "redistribution of wealth" are not seeing the big picture, and IMO, absolute libertarians are not much different than anarchists.

"Governments" have subsidizing some citizens probably back to the hunter/gatherer days when you think about it, long before socialism or industry was a thing. Sure, I'd call Trump's approach "crony capitalism," but in the end, I'd also say one of the functions of government is to make sure that the community as a whole survives and that includes managing contributions and distributions.

@MistyCee Talk as much as you like but you can't control the system no one can!

That is why it's pointless voting. Just my two cents.

@Wol62 Your two cents and even my two cents aren't likely to make a difference, but the idea is that, if everyone contributes their two cents, it can.

I'm not saying that idea is right. Its just me repeating, i.e., my own "two cents."

I'd say libertarians are not much different than house cats!

Who is considered an oligarch?
A business leader can be considered an oligarch if the following conditions are satisfied: uses monopolistic tactics to dominate an industry; possesses sufficient political power to promote their own interests; controls multiple businesses, which intensively coordinate their activities.

Anyone who thinks Trump is a socialist is very very stupid or ignorant to the point of being functionally stupid. Same difference.

American Libertarians fit the last category.

No he wasn't/isn't a socialist.

No, he was not a socialist.

@Human1000 I think it depends where you sit on the political spectrum.
If you are republican then democrats are socialists.
If you are libertarian then republicans are socialists.
