In the past, every time some new populist leader gets in, and rescinds or suspends a mining or drilling agreement etc with an outside nation, the new anti Free Trade Leader is commonly referred to as a “LEFTIST” by the leftist media.
In fact, TPTB and their media have been somewhat leftist themselves, for decades, and if they are secretly supporting Trump, you could say they realized their ways or agendas ran out of steam resulting in the’08 crash and they are changing their ways.
