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.
Exactly.
I’ve had Republican friends send me articles, I read them, start the debate, only to realize they literally only read the headline.
I’ve found myself reading terribly written articles just so that I’m sure I don’t misunderstand anything being portrayed in the article. Sometimes spending an extra 20-30 additional minutes for fact checking.
Trying to have a subsequent conversation with them is like pissing in the wind.
I really enjoyed explaining to a friend that the headline about outlawing child genital mutilation was referring to circumcision.
…that was sarcasm.
