He's constrained by the rule of law, unlike China's totalitarian state — and there's no comparison to the mass death and violence committed by Mao Zedong's communist regime.
Plus, much of Trump's agenda remains pro-capitalist: He champions private industry, not state ownership, and his appeals to sacrifice are rooted in geopolitical competition — not class struggle.
White House spokesman Kush Desai told Axios in a statement: "The Trump administration's policies are delivering much-needed economic relief for everyday Americans while laying the groundwork for a long-term restoration of American Greatness."

That's just how all Axios "articles" are written—one of the founders said he wanted it to be a "mix between The Economist and Twitter."^[I grabbed this quote from Wikipedia, and out of curiosity I checked out the source for more context, where the author says about another founder, "This is best exemplified by Allen’s credulous approach to journalism. His proudly nonpartisan stance (he claims to have no ideology, and I absolutely take his word for it) [...]". If you read the rest of an article, you'll see that the author's idea of "ideology" is party politics, which completely ignores that the most pernicious acts of the state are bipartisan, and somehow the founders' naked ambition to make fistfuls of cash by pandering to advertisers does not qualify as "ideology". This is what Western journalists actually believe lmao]

Here's a random article from 2019 to illustrate:

Why do you think LLMs use a lot of em dashes if not because the data they are trained on uses a lot of em dashes? And if the data they are trained on uses a lot of em dashes, wouldn't you expect to see a lot of em dashes in articles?
