Trump a la Carte: An Interview with Richard Epstein
.avif)
Reuvain Borchardt interviews Richard Epstein for the February 2025 issue of Hamodia magazine.
Interviewer: I'd like to ask you about these executive actions that Trump has been taking.
Epstein: G-d help us. Well, at least on some, but not the others.
It’s called Trump a la carte. That means when you look at a menu of Trump items, you take some and reject others, because he’s such a dizzying purveyor of both good sense and utter incompetence that it’s very hard to take a uniform response.
If you’re on the left, he’s just pure incompetence. If you’re relatively conservative, there are many things that you approve of.
