Yes, after pure socialism totally failed in China and Vietnam their governments begain experimenting with free markets and private ownership. That is why they are prosperous today. USSR and Cuba never did that so their economies collaped.
President Trump is not trying to destroy the checks and balences built in our governemnt. Checks and balences are there for a reason. So no one can take total control, unlimited power. The socialists want to rule like kings. I say NO KINGS.
