I'm not an expert on Rand's novels. I haven't even read them (only summaries and excepts). But I think Rand's villains would do a little more to the companies they opposed then tweeting about them not paying enough taxes. Not that Trump wouldn't be anywhere close to a Rand hero. I think the whole thing reflects negatively on Trump from a libertarian (and a number of other) perspectives. But its not like its new, or anywhere close to the worst thing he's said or done.
