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.

    The notion that he cares about anyone other than himself is laughable. He has nothing to gain from the party if he’s not in office anymore, and he’ll burn it all down before he gets dragged out.

      Note I was referring to the author of the article. He like a lot of other conservatives are probably worried that whole they “won”, it’s really all about Trump and they are trying to think on how to protect their agenda in the face of that precarious reality.
