Where is Trump getting these moronic ideas? ...My guess is that it's the idiots at a few of the Trumpy "think" tanks. Three of the most likely candidates: the America First Policy Institute, the Claremont Insitute and its affiliated make-work journals like American Greatness, and the Heritage Foundation, which in recent years has gone openly fash.
