Rand Paul Straight Up Compares Trump Taking Stakes In Private Companies to Zohran Mamdani’s Socialism

[sealybobo]

Trump is a businessman.

End of story.

He's also what Republicans would call a socialist.

Trump nuclear power investment in Westinghouse could lead to IPO with U.S. government as shareholder​

And he's running the country like an American CEO. Where we get a 18% raise but his wealth goes up 1322%.

 

[buttercup]

He is correct. But trump being a leftist isnt anything new.

Yep. Some of us have been saying he's a fraud since almost the start. I'm glad to see that others are finally starting to catch on.

Here's an example. You can click on the image below for the actual poll...

Rand Paul Straight Up Compares Trump Taking Stakes In Private Companies to Zohran Mamdani’s Socialism

“If you're going to criticize the socialist Mamdani for wanting to own grocery stores, you better criticize Republicans who want a share of Intel, of Nvidia, or U.S. Steel."

www.mediaite.com

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) joined MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle this week to discuss President Donald Trump’s plan to create TrumpRX, a government-run website offering discounts on select prescription drugs.

Paul, a libertarian leaning Republican, pulled no punches in criticizing Trump’s willingness to intervene in the free market and even went so far as to compare the Trump administration to self-identified socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Paul shared his interview on X and wrote, “If you’re going to criticize the socialist Mamdani for wanting to own grocery stores, you better criticize Republicans who want a share of Intel, of Nvidia, or U.S. Steel. Owning even part of the means of production is a step toward socialism. It’s a bad idea and a dangerous precedent.”

In the clip from earlier in the week, Ruhle asked Paul, “The president wants a stake in big business. At a New York Economic Club event today, the president’s top trade negotiator said that Trump would, quote, ‘Love a stake in every company that’s doing well.’ What do you think about that? I mean, you are a free markets, true capitalism kind of guy. That doesn’t sound like any free markets I know.”

“Yeah, if you’re going to criticize Mamdani for wanting to own the grocery stores, you have to be equal parts critic to any Republican who wants a share of Nvidia, a share of Intel, or a share of U.S. Steel. It’s a bad idea. It’s a slippery slope. And really, it is heading in the direction of what socialism is, which would be owning all of the means of production. If you only own a percentage of the means of production, it still is a step in the wrong direction,” Paul replied.

Jesus.....you are so out of touch with reality.

No you are. Look at the election results. Clearly Trump is doing a horrible job but what do you claim is the reality?

Were the elections rigged? Then something is very wrong. Don't blame the "lyin" media. I don't think people need to be told Trump is ******* us all over.

This reminds me of how he mishandled the pandemic. Obama handed him a dream economy with no major problems. Trump was doing okay. Not great but okay. Gave too many tax breaks away and got little for it. But things were fine. THEN Trump's first crisis and boy did he shit the bed huh?

Nope, asshole. You stage a bunch of elections in blue cities and states and just barely win all of them. Why were they so competitive?
Because all of your candidates suck ass.
Every one of them is a psycho.
You should have won by 30-40 points in all of them but only got 56% of the vote at best. You would have gotten 70% or better if what you say is true.

Oh, and ASSHOLE, your boy Mike (back-stabber) Pence was in charge of the pandemic.

We "staged" elections? Interesting spin.

Why didn't the GOP pick up more seats if what Trump's doing is working or popular?

We don't have any candidates yet. You'll meet them next year.

In 1988 you didn't know who Bill Clinton was.

The GOP isn't going to pick up more seats when you take into account all of the redistricting you assholes have been doing to rig elections.
You folks think it's okay to gerry-rig elections according to race or Muslim population, which is against civil rights law.
Then you piss and moan when the GOP tries to do the same.

BTW, the Democrat Party has no decent candidates.
And without stupid female voters you wouldn't have an ice cube's chance in Hell of winning a single election.
These people think with their emotions instead of their brains.
That's the only reason a prick like Mandami could win an election.

Typical Democrat asshole:

Us? We're only doing it back to you because you're doing it in Texas. Wait till 2030 like normal Americans.

What they're doing in Texas is merely a correction of what you leftist already did.
You got Jasmine Crockett elected by redistricting.

This is why the Dem party is filled with so many useless assholes who're ether corrupt as Hell or totally incompetent.

Or, hear me out, voters fall for GOP campaign promises that they aren't the party for the rich, then they get in and prove they actually are the party for the rich. Not middle class people. This election was a message. If Trump keeps doing what he's doing and Republicans go along, they'll get fired next year. Have fun. Like Trump Truthed out, ...AND SO IT BEGINS!

Nah. You people are just flooding social media with nonsense. Trump isn't doing anything other than what he was elected to do.
Now you're trying to steal the House by erasing Republican voters in CA.
Democrats have only people on food stamps and the extremely rich as a base. They swing voters by fooling white college girls into believing their nonsense.
The No Kings event proved that 90% of Democrat voters are nasty assholes with zero common-sense.
You're one of them.

I'm noticing something about Republicans like you. You always project when you talk about us. You aren't wrong. We flooded the media. But it wasn't with nonsense.

You successfully called it nonsense last year and that worked. But this year Republicans have proven we weren't lying about Republicans and Project 2025.

Cost of living a winning message​

A stark shift in the Latino vote​

in New Jersey and Virginia, where Republicans have had far more electoral success in the past.

In those states, the two Democratic candidates were establishment-backed moderates who emphasised pragmatic policies more likely to appeal to voters less liberal than those in New York City.

One thing we learned this week. A lot of people who voted for Trump did not vote GOP this week. Was it because Trump's not on the ticket? That's not good for you since he can't run again and he's old as ****. You better find another messiah and fast.

Was it because of the government shut down? That's not good for your side either. I thought it was the Schumer Shutdown?

The cost of living is up because of one reason, and that is the fact that Barack Obama was calling the shots in the White House the last 4 years.
They really put the screws to us the last few months of the Biden Adm by doing everything they could to raise the price of beef.
The cost of gas is going down, but the cost of Diesel isn't. Diesel is the driver of our economy.
Every time Trump tries to do anything about lowering costs, some ******* judge issues an injunction preventing him from doing it.

The Schumer Shutdown is completely Democrat caused. They wanted a shutdown to help swing the election. The ICE raids have been used to give a false image of the Trump Administration. ICE is getting rid of people who are illegally sucking off billions of our tax dollars. And the only people who think they should be allowed to keep doing it are bleeding-heart liberals without an independent brain cell among them.
Now the Dems hope that they can take back the House and bring the Trump Adm to a complete halt. They want to go after his friends and associates like they did before the election. Everything you fuckers have accused Trump of doing.....you want to do instead. And the only reason all of this is working at all is you're either blackmailing or bribing Republicans to not put up a fight.

OMG so funny blaming Obama. You sound insane like Trump.

Stop blaming everyone else. Every time Biden tried to fix something Republicans stopped him. Sounds like excuses to me. And Trump has and still can do anything he wants for the next 3 years. Has he fucked up enough for you? Still claiming his policies haven't raised the price of everything? How did that delusional denial work out for you on Tuesday? LOL

Sorry but you can't do illegal things to get your policies through. You have to go through the proper channels here in America. This isn't China or Russia where the leader can do whatever he wants. Like bombing boats you THINK have drugs on them. Go arrest them. Catch them when they pull in to port. Trump says their boats are too fast. You believe that? LOL.

Trump has been operating like a King and people aren't happy. It's not the media. Did they listen to us last year before the election? No. Now they are suffering Trump. Government firings, cut off foodstamps, government shutdown, inflation, tariffs, food prices, groceries,

Sorry talking about Trannies won't distract them from a shitty economy of Trump's doing.

Release the Epstein files too.

When did trump ever claim to be an ultra-Libertarian free market capitalist?

Trump is a populist, and that is a lens through which his consistency should be judged
