Summary
Conservative economist Oren Cass warns that Donald Trump could jeopardize his presidency by focusing on donor and activist agendas rather than the priorities of swing voters who secured his victory.
Writing in The New York Times, Cass argues that new presidents often mistake donor interests, such as tax cuts and deregulation, for the will of the electorate, leading to ineffective governance and loss of public trust.
Cass urges Trump to prioritize issues that resonate with the broader American public to avoid a fate that has derailed past presidencies.
That all depends on how you define successful, doesn’t it. I rather think Trump has a different definition than most of us.
It seems he is out for revenge on anyone who slighted him in the last 8 years.
Don’t forget the money. Any action that will personally enrich him will be taken. From Trumps point of view the electorate are now irrelevant.
By that metric, I’d say it’s going to be a very successful presidency…
