MAGA was said Democrats would bring communism… but Trump brought something far closer: authoritarian economic nationalism.
Here’s why (I’ll write at MAGA’s reading level as best I can):
Trump has ended free market capitalism in America.
He now acts as a centralized authority figure, dictating to private businesses—and entire industries—what they can produce, where they can operate, and how much they can charge. He’s also personally enriching himself through crypto payments and backroom deals with these same companies, offering exemptions from his policies in exchange for loyalty. That’s not capitalism. That’s authoritarianism.
And his tariffs? Totally unconstitutional. The power to regulate trade belongs to Congress, not the president. By taking that power for himself, Trump has created artificial market volatility—volatility he profits from—and uses it to control businesses like political weapons.
This is what authoritarian economic nationalism looks like: central control, political favoritism, personal profit, and a rigged system that punishes dissent and rewards loyalty. It’s not American. It’s Soviet Communism with better branding.
