When was the last time the White House spokesperson for a different administration publicly called the free market actions of a private company "hostile"?


I'm sure an example, or something like it, could easily be found to make a whatabout argument. The INSANE difference, in both volume and degree, of "comparable" things is the fact they'll never accept. They'll just double down. It's a death spiral.


This is pointless equivocation.

Trump is turning all the dials up to 11 and that does actually make a difference. Some administrations / governments using bully tactics some of the time does not mean we can't call out one that uses bully tactics all of the time at high intensity and without concern for the broader impacts.


I don’t really care who wrote the playbook. I care who is using it.
