“Meiklejohn's position is that free speech in a democracy is not an absolute flowing from the boundless source of some presumed 'natural right.'

“What was really interesting in his speech, which, by the way, had (inaudible) footnotes - the written version of it - which might be a personal record for Donald Trump - the source of a lot of his numbers on the free trade section of the speech came from an organization called the Economic Policy Institute, which was a think tank or is a think tank that was founded by labor unions to promote the labor unions' point of view on free trade agreements.” ThinkingWayMightInterestingViewsNumbersRecordsWrittenEconomicPolicySourceTrumpSpeechLaborOrganizationTradeUnionsPoint Of ViewVersionsAgreementSectionsTanksReally InterestingInstituteFree TradeEconomic PolicyLabor UnionFootnotesTrade Agreements Author:Avik Roy
“I think, again, the overall intellectual structure of the speech is very much consistent with what Donald Trump has been saying on the campaign trail. He's against free trade.
