'When presidencies go wrong': Economist says Trump may fall into trap that will 'doom' him - eviltoast

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.

    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.
