Economist and author Arthur B. Laffer and Libertarian Party presidential candidate Chase Oliver debate the resolution, "Among the candidates actively running for President in November, Donald Trump is the best choice." Defending the resolution is Laffer, who is widely recognized as "The Father of Supply-Side Economics," as his Laffer Curve is one of the main theoretical constructs of supply-side economics. Laffer was a member of President Ronald Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board for both of Reagan's terms and a founding member of the Reagan Executive Advisory Committee for the 1980 presi...

Having tried to overturn his 2020 loss to Joe Biden with a range of undemocratic tactics, Donald Trump is now campaigning for the US presidency again and is in full authoritarian flow. Having said last December he intends to be a dictator “on day one,” he has continued to fawn over authoritarian leaders like Viktor Orbán and Xi Jinping. "They're all smart, tough,” he said of these leaders at a recent rally. “They love their country ... and Orbán was right: we have to have somebody that can protect us." But as Trump’s opponents are working hard to make known, it isn’t just the ex-president’s ow...

The Republican National Convention came to an end on Thursday with former President Donald Trump’s acceptance of the party’s presidential nomination. During his closing speech — which lasted over an hour and a half — Trump touched on various topics with a domestic focus but also spoke about his ally, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. On stage, Trump praised Orbán, calling him a champion of “illiberal democracy” in his own country. “Viktor Orbán, prime minister of Hungary, very tough guy,” Trump said. He said Orbán, a repeat visitor to Trump’s Florida compound Mar-a-Lago — including one la...

Sombre and bandaged, Donald Trump has officially accepted the Republican presidential nomination. He spoke at the Republican National Convention and talked about the assassination attempt that could have ended his life just five days earlier before laying out a sweeping populist agenda, particularly on immigration. The 78-year-old former president described standing onstage in Butler, Pennsylvania, with his head turned to look at a chart on display when he felt something hit his ear. He raised his hand to his head and saw immediately that it was covered in blood. “If I had not moved my head at...

The Republican Party wants you to be afraid. Very, very afraid. Under former President Donald Trump, the party is playing up fears of violent crime, even as crime rates have fallen from their pandemic-era spike. And in the process, it is abandoning the modest yet meaningful moves toward criminal justice reform it made in recent years. This much was clear on the second night of the 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC), whose theme was "Make America Safe Again." Several of the presenters spoke of the need to get tough on crime. "We are experiencing a plague of crime across America," said re...

Former US President Donald Trump on Monday chose Ohio senator JD Vance as his running mate as he seeks to return to the White House. While he’s a relative political unknown — having served as a senator since last year — the 39-year-old Republican has already raised eyebrows with conservative views veering toward the extreme. As Vance went from one of Trump's fiercest critics to running on the same ballot, his rhetoric anti-Ukraine aid rhetoric and a push for a nationwide abortion ban signal that, unlike former VP Mike Pence, Vance belongs to a more populist strain of US Republican politics. He...

This year’s Republican National Convention, where Donald Trump will be formally nominated for the presidential campaign, was originally going to be overshadowed by the former president’s conviction on 34 criminal charges. Instead, it is taking place just days after a very public attempt on his life that very nearly succeeded. Trump has struck a defiant tone since the assassination attempt and insists the convention will be going ahead as normal, despite outrage at the failure of the security services to keep the ex-president safe from an armed assailant. The US Secret Service has said security...

For those seeking balance in this polarized moment in American politics, Gallup offers news that initially seems good. The polling firm finds Americans are becoming increasingly socially liberal while generally remaining economically conservative. Using a crude definition of libertarian and classical liberal ideas, growing social liberalism paired with economic conservatism sounds encouraging. But the ideological shift is all one-sided, with Democrats moving left much more than Republicans moved to the right—threatening not balance, but a wider partisan divide. Socially Liberal and Economicall...

Republican Congressman Jim Banks sent letters in recent days to a number of high-profile figures in the U.S. far-right, saying that they had been added to a Ukrainian NGO's list of individuals and groups "in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine." Banks, who is running for Senate in Indiana, said that "other Ukrainian NGOs have published similar lists, which have published the personal information of those named in apparent attempts to intimidate them." The congressman alleged that Texty, the NGO in question, previously worked with the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Dev...
