Trump is considering a massive aid program for US farmers who are suffering under his idiotic trade war.
Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can't sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Dummkopf Trumpf let slip that he's a little nervous about the 2026 mid-term elections: www.newsweek.com
"Start bribing the farmers!"
"Congress will have to pass another farm bailout bill just like they did the last time"
Sure. That'll work!
Earlier this year, President Trump signed the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB, P.L. 119-21) into law, which slashed SNAP benefits by nearly $186 billion and directly reinvested more than $50 billion of that to further increase farm subsidies to the largest, wealthiest farmers, while programs that support the vast majority of farmers and rural communities were excluded from the bill entirely.

Economically, Trump is the most left-wing president in history

Whatever that's supposed to be referring to, maybe tariffs, maybe buying $10B in Intel, maybe deregulating crypto, maybe starting trade wars, maybe bankrupting small farmers, maybe bailing out Argentina's libertarian conservative regime, none of which are particularly "left-wing" -- that doesn't make him a leftist, politically speaking.
"What fascinates me is how the Republicans have lined up in support of his policies"
That's what cultists do -- Follow The Leader. Surely you understand Trump has created his own Cult of Personality. en.wikipedia.org
"while Dems now appear to be the champions of free markets."
That's an absurd comment. Dems have always been champions of free markets.
"If you want to find an analog for Trump, the best would be Dennis Kucinich. Next would be Huey Long. Both progressive Dems."
Stalin and Mao are better analogies.
