Did I Just Get an Email from Donald Trump writing under a Pseudonym?

January 31, 2025

In response to my article on the creepy crony capitalist imperialist William McKinley a Robert King emailed to inform me that protectionist tariffs are “the single most valuable tool a nation possesses.”

Who is this person known as “the nation” and where can I find him?  Is he kind of like that entertainer who calls himself “the weekend”?  I am a part of the American nation and I don’t believe this.  Can “a nation” make decisions like this regarding “the single most valuable tool?” Or do only individuals make decisions?
