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.
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.
