This shit blows my mind. I got my degree from a libertarian think tank run business school built on DeVos money and even the faculty there liked to trash Trump on his trade policy before his first term when republicans realized they had to play ball with him.

I disagreed with them on a lot of things, but the importance of a strong and interconnected global market with us on top is one of the very few things I found common ground with them on.
