This assumes Trump actually cared about any of the stuff he said to get elected. His real agenda was always to stay out of jail, get revenge, and enrich himself. He won - that’s all that matters to him.
To me it’s simple. More republicans voted than democrats. So he won. Does he have a mandate.……. NO. Will republicans excuse his behavior ….YES. Does he really care. …..NO. In fact, there has been a deep concern in my gut he is deliberately playing games and his real motives are revenge and that includes giving another tax break to the very wealthy, without regard for this country at all.
I believe Trump will look after his big donor buddies and other wealthy people. Easing the economic burdens of taxes, the cost of all kinds of insurance, and the costs of everyday living for the middle class comprise a much bigger effort. Trump is too hung up on his grievances to perform any kind of governing. I hope all of us ordinary Americans can hang on.
In the early 1990’s, Randy Johnson appeared in an attack ad against Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts US Senate bid. The ad focused on the economy and how a small Indiana factory was closed by an out of touch businessman. Massachusetts was only a few years out of a recession. Romney’s bid was very strong; he had no answer to Kennedy’s slick ad and lost very badly. Obama would resurrect the issue in 2012, after another recession left Americans battered. Romney lost again. You better pay attention to the economy. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Blotter/romney-critic-resurfaces/story?id=15244767
We are dealing with an unstable person assisted by an unstable drug user and a cabinet that has, maybe, one qualified person who has sold his soul to djt. We need to hear more from psychologists because there is no rhyme or reason to his “fiscal” policy. I think destroying the consumer class tells us all we need to know.
Yeah, unstable like fox's seeking swamp critters. Your comment has been voiced for the past 10 years by the Left and it's media poodles. Try thinking on your own - it may give you a chance to tell rely your own view instead of other Trump-Haters.
A widowed friend of mine told me this morning that she a bought a fried chicken and was cutting it up to make small portion for herself. She had a good question! Where did the grocery store get the chickens?

Exactly and sad but true!
Actually, the market tanking isn't helping him.
But he doesn't care!

I appreciate this detailed, very interesting article on the differences between what Presidents focus on and what the people focus on. Thanks!

It was explained to me that Trump won because of the "three I's": inflation, immigration, and identity politics.
I don't see "invade Canada" on that list but here we are.
another big reason djt won is because too many dems stayed home and didn't bother to vote.
Gabe any interest in saying more about “post materialist” politics? Im curious to hear your evidence for or against the US moving toward it.
Another question. Has any other country or empire crossed over into post materialist politics?
He didn’t forget, maga forgot what promises he made that he never intended to keep.
Well stated and enlightening, Gabe. Thank you.
A Nobel Peace Prize for a convicted felon? Seriously Rosemary?
That conviction was bogus and will be overturned on appeal.
It may have been an ill advised prosecution, politically speaking, but it was not bogus.
Unless you are extremely well off, I don’t know any American that asked for higher prices on goods!
Gabe, I'm not sure which side of the political fence you sit on. Some of your essays appear to be up and down political merry-go-round.

Will Trump and Rudy ever be forced to pay what they were given by the courts? When?
