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.
Am I the only person in the world that heard him say many times that if you vote for him you’ll never have to vote again? I feel like I’m going fucking crazy here.
Yes. He said it and he meant it.
At least ~70 million people are actually mentally ill. Don’t bother trying to rationalize their actions because that will make you insane.
It scares me the way his base ate it up. What is wrong with people that they don’t appreciate living in a modern democracy. Its just crazy to think of living before world war one compared to were we are at now.
Prosperity breeds discontent, unfortunately. It’s human nature.
Oh he did. My only hope at this point is that he is just so self-centered he meant he didn’t care about their voting anymore because he personally could never run again.
At least from a personal perspective, I wouldn’t be surprised if he would be ok with closing his legacy having “won the game” by serving as president as long as he was allowed to serve with an overwhelming electoral victory.
