Andrew Coyne’s simmering hatred for President Trump knows no bounds. In his latest missive, he has convinced himself that a recession is coming soon and that Trump is entirely to blame for it.
The evidence that there is something very wrong with the president’s mental state has been available from the start, for those who bothered to pay attention. But so long as the economy was on a roll — a roll that began under his predecessor — it was possible to pretend it did not matter. After all, were taxes not being cut, regulation not unwound, whether in spite of the president or because of him?
It’s quite amazing how the likes of Coyne have convinced themselves that the heavy handed involvement in the private sector by the regimes of Obama, Trudeau, and the EU are the correct approach for governments, no matter how many mountains of evidence dispel this ridiculous belief system.
