It must be disorienting for progressives to watch a Republican president rail against “the globalist Koch brothers.” That’s a dynamic only President Trump could introduce.
After toiling for years to cast the Kochs as sinister puppet masters of Republican lawmakers, the Left’s powerful characterization of the billionaire brothers is now being exploited by Trump. “I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer. Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn. They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, I’m for America First & the American Worker – a puppet for no one,” Trump tweeted.
