"Fantasizing about the vic[t]imization of venture capitalists isn't what got Donald Trump elected in 2016. But by appointing Kudlow, the president seems to be betting that the substance of the populist narrative doesn’t matter as much as does the superficial rhetoric of the thing. And so, before our eyes, the bitter blue-collar gripes of the Steve Bannon era are being exchanged for the sunny supply-side credo of Larry Kudlow. One form of populism growls darkly about 'American carnage', the other burbles about the day big business is liberated from arrogant regulators, but both pretend to despise elites, and maybe that’s all that matters."
Thomas Frank at The Guardian writes that Donald Trump's latest advisors will make sure that "ordinary Americans will suffer."
