What happened to Trump in NYC is the stuff of the Soviet show trials: Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime. If the government doesn’t like your politics, they can concoct some excuse to steal your stuff and call it “justice.”
But this behavior always has consequences. There’s a reason companies won’t invest in Venezuela or Cuba: When the rule of law is arbitrary and politicized and property rights are weak, doing business becomes unsafe.
I am rooting for a mass exodus of investor capital and businesses from New York City. But there’s no reason to stop there. For as long as New York insists on being a judicial rogue state, red states should stop acknowledging the rulings of its courts.
Democrats have shredded our Constitution and our legal norms just to destroy Donald Trump. But they’d do well to remember that we can hit back. Ship every illegal into New York, and ship every dollar out.
