> dare any one of you to say he's not a socialist liberal president
Trump blends nationalism, socialism and authoritarian oligarchism according to a familiar playbook for exploiting an internationally-aggrieved class reeling from the effects of inflation (American blue-collar workers).
He’s definitely not liberal by any sense of the word.
I mean, certainly not _liberal_, by _any_ of the major definitions (the word has shifted meaning a few times over the last few centuries, but Mr Tariffs and Internment Camps would tend to fail on any of them; he's neither a social nor a classical liberal, nor the less-well-defined French Revolution variety.)
My comment had some degree of cheek, but in all seriousness, one of the hallmarks of Keynesian economic policy is state investment in infrastructure. The current administration is treating TikTok (and really social media in general) very much like some piece of critical infrastructure.

Did Keynes advocate for sovereign wealth funds? All I can recall is he said international funds flows are inherently political.

If you think this would make TikTok fair then think again. It will be yet another avenue for brainwashing.
