    Via Breitbart Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see Neil Munro
    on whether Donald Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to
    downplay the National Question while on the campaign trail against
    Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2021/05/24/washpost-admits-gop-turning-populist/>
    | Throughout former President Donald Trump's tenure, business groups
    | fought any cutbacks in the supply of labor -- or of immigrant
    | consumers and renters. That media-magnified uncompromising
    | opposition helped shape the national debate -- and the flow of
    | corporate political spending -- but it also helped widen the
    | political gap between the GOP voters and its donors.
    |
    | That gap helped elect Joe Biden, despite his promise to raise taxes
    | on corporations, reduce law enforcement, supercharge labor
    | migration, and stigmatize speech or policies that are disliked by
    | progressives.

    Munro missed an opportunity to link to Molly Ball's expose on the
    axis of Tom Donohue and Dick Trumka: <URL:https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/>
