Apparently that intervention was more of a spiritual audit, with the resulting Donald emerging Clear of his false beliefs and attaining the higher state of mumbling through any note placed between his stubby fingers.

First there was Donald Trump reading, with all the deliberateness and enthusiasm of a sixth grader parsing Evangeline, his endorsements of everyone he had pointedly refused to endorse the previous day—Here you go, Kelly Ayotte, please enjoy this lovely gold-plated anchor on your way down.

On Monday will come Trump reciting an economic address that—shockingly—states that he intends to do … just what has been on every other Republican’s economic hit list since the first proto-conservative waddled onto the national stage.

Donald Trump will propose a temporary moratorium on new financial regulations in an economic speech Monday in Detroit in an effort to draw a stark contrast with the domestic policies of Hillary Clinton, who he says “punishes” the American economy. Trump will also propose a repeal of the estate tax, sometimes called the “death tax.” … For U.S. businesses, Trump will propose a tax rate of 15 percent and suggest strengthening intellectual-property protections. He’s expected to call for three income-tax brackets, down from the current seven. … Other items on his energy agenda, he is expected to reiterate in the speech, include asking TransCanada to renew its Keystone pipeline permit application; rescinding the Climate Action Plan and “waters of the U.S.” rule; opening offshore drilling; and killing the Paris climate agreement.

So Trump will propose deregulation, repealing the estate tax, cutting the corporate tax rate in half, and drastically reducing the tax rate for those at the the top of the pyramid. Where have we heard this before? Why … from every Republican since Goldwater.

Trump will also introduce the new idea of … of … Nope, sorry. There’s nothing.

But this economic speech does matter. It doesn’t matter for it’s content. It matters because big money Republicans are watching to make sure the Mouth has been leashed.
