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.

    Not sure how he could be “doomed”. He’ll probably die in office, without having paid his debt for anything he’s done.

    He won’t live to regret anything, I’d wager. Also, even if he lives to 100, he’s only getting one term, unless they go full autocratic and he and shitty gene pool form a dynasty, in which nothing he does will “doom” anything.
