10/9/20 Matt Welch: The Case Against Donald Trump

by | Oct 11, 2020 |

Reason Magazine's Matt Welch follows up on Scott's Jacob Sullum interview with his own case against Donald Trump. The clearest point to hit Trump on, says Welch, is probably his complete abandonment of curtailing government spending, as he has presided over the biggest budgets in American history. Welch also notes that despite Trump's foreign policy rhetoric—which, he admits, has done a good job moving Republican voters toward the anti-war position—he has done fairly little to actually bring troops home and end America's endless wars.
