Dear David:
Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
Trump is very good on reducing regulations, taxes and creating peace in the Middle East; he is bad on protectionism, deficits. I vastly prefer him to Biden who is a socialist.
If populism helps promote liberty I favor it to that extent. If Biden wins in 2020, this is still a question, I hope Rand Paul becomes president in 2024.
Best regards,
Walter

Subject: Hello Professor Block
Dear Professor Block:
1. I hope you are well. I am pleased to announce that the webinar we organized a few months ago on the wage gap has been the cornerstone for a “Blockean” movement in Chile. From the bottom of my heart I want to express my gratitude to you for the friendship that we have established in these years.
2. I would like to talk a little about politics. It is outrageous what has happened in the United States with this very fraudulent election. I have a slightly crazy idea: I would like to try the possibility of interviewing President Trump for an editorial project I have in mind. However, professor, I would like to ask you a couple of questions: what is your opinion about Trump? And what is your opinion regarding populism as a means of struggle for libertarianism?
Thank you.
Best regards,
David
