Trump&#8217;s history of siding with big government against free enterprise is evident in his support of eminent domain and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=30833\" target=\"_blank\">his recent tantrum<\/a> where he told companies with off-shore facilities to <em>&#8220;fuck off.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now, to go along with his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=29757\" target=\"_blank\">rabid string of lawsuits<\/a>, Trump is also pushing boycotts against an ever expanding group of evil American businesses.
