    About 90 percent of Congressional communication with govt. agencies is acting on requests for help from constituents. Not even the Republican zealots in the House or Senate are gonna tell their voters, "sorry I can't help you" without also saying, "Trump won't let me."

    Trump: Marxist in the Oval Office ...

    David Brancaccio: One of the economists I talk to quite frequently said President Trump believes in the invisible hand, but that he believes it's his.

    Blyth: That's cute; I like it. I prefer to think of him as channeling some of the Marxists from the 1970s. So let me explain what I mean by this. It's individually rational for any firm to, for example, move jobs abroad. Because if you do, you make more money. That creates a competitive dynamic where every other firm does it, and collectively what's individually rational becomes collectively disastrous. The last time capitalism got into trouble in the 1970s, a bunch of Marxist theorists started to think about capitalism in this way. And if you think about the border tax arrangements that possibly are coming through, it is essentially trying to, in some sense, solve that collective action for capital.

    The case for Trump being a Marxist

    Just wait until we find out it was really from Obama's inauguration or was photoshopped.

    People are talking.

    If you were applying the same standard to both, you wouldn't have phrased it that way. Question answered despite dodge attempt.
