The great Walter Block plans to support President Donald Trump’s re-election bid this year.
This will certainlty split libertarians, but the pragmatic ones will say it be better for President Trump to win in November than any of the crazy Democrats. Robert Wenzel will likely make the case that another Trump term will inevitably increase socialism’s popularity.
Here is a letter he wrote to the president to pardon Ross Ulbricht:
In 2015, I was involved in the initiation of two groups in your behalf.
One was “Libertarians for Trump.” I started this along with the late Ralph Raico and Donald Miller. We received about 4000 signatures on this compilation. The other was “Scholars for Trump.” My partners on this were Paul Gottfried and Boyd D. Cathey. You had to have an advanced degree such as a phd or law degree to sign up. This list was begun since it was then widely believed that only dumb rednecks in flyover country would vote for you. We wanted to put paid to that claim. We garnered about 150 signatures on that initiative.
I plan to do something similar this year, as soon as the Democrats choose their candidate.
Interesting.
