Yes, full agreement that the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine played a big part
in opening the doors to this disaster. I believe you mentioned Rand before and, sure, I agree people around Trump in
this administration likely read and have a fondness for her crap musings but
Trump never read her and probably never read anything beyond children's books.
So, that comment by Reich about Trump saying he likes or identified with Roark
from The Fountainhead means either somebody mentioned Roark to him as some
sort of hero or...Trump watched the movie with Gary Cooper. But yes, I agree that Trump would love the idea that Roark blows his building
up in the story rather than be told what to do...after all Trump is currently
trying his best to blow this whole country up. And now a conservative anthem...
