In a new interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, the forty-fifth president can’t stop talking about the twenty-fifth president. Trump “keeps circling back to William McKinley,” write Nancy Cook, Joshua Green, and Mario Parker, “who he says raised enough revenue through tariffs during his turn-of-the-20th-century presidency to avoid instituting a federal income tax yet never got the appropriate credit.” For the past quarter-century, though, Republicans have been giving McKinley too much credit.Before the turn of the current century McKinley was routinely derided as a weak president who let...
