Trump's ie James Taggart's War on Amazon and Ayn Rand:

I wonder if I'm the only one who notices a Randian theme in Trump's war with Amazon?

Trump is our James Taggart type & Bezos our Henry Rearden.

Trump is a rich spoiled rotten brat. He's tried to combine a life as a wannabe "playboy" with that of a wannabe business tycoon. His independent business ventures have failed spectacularly, producing a string of bankruptcies and repossessions. He's been repeatedly bailed out by his father and his wealthy siblilngs. Using underhanded means, he's been elevated to the highest political office where he rules as a corrupt, incompetent plutocrat.

Bezos is a real billionaire and a self-made one. A man of vision, Rand would say.

"Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received—hatred." Ayn Rand
