We must destroy the corrupt invisible government.

We can see the results of their devastating actions all around us.

Imagine conspiring to deprive the American workers of gainful employment by shipping the manufacturing jobs overseas.

They whine, "Oh, you must be a protectionist."

Fucking right they are. Until the trade deficit is more in balance I am a protectionist. We need to enact tariffs.

Fuck globalization and fuck free trade deals.
