Obama’s epic rant on Trump’s “populism”

Obama’s epic rant on Trump’s “populism”

by digby

“That’s not the measure of populism. That’s nativism, or xenophobia, or worse. Or it’s just cynicism….Let’s just be clear: Somebody who labels ‘us versus them’ or engaged in rhetoric about how we’re going to look after ourselves and take it to the other guy — that’s not the definition of populism. Sorry.”

Actually it’s pretty standard with right wing populism. But the rant is good nonetheless.
