A Randite Conspiracy?
h/t Instapundit
...The president-elect said this spring that he’s a fan of Rand and identifies with Howard Roark, the main character in "The Fountainhead."

...Tillerson prefers "Atlas Shrugged," Rand’s novel about John Galt secretly organizing a strike of the creative class to hasten the collapse of the bureaucratic society.

...Andy Puzder, tapped by Trump last week to be secretary of labor, is an avid and outspoken fan of Rand’s books.

...Mike Pompeo, who will have the now-very-difficult job of directing the Central Intelligence Agency for Trump, has often said that Rand’s works inspired him.

...An interesting wrinkle: Stephen Bannon, who will be Trump’s chief strategist in the White House, has been sharply critical of Rand.
