Since President-elect
Donald Trump defied the political regime, he’s reigned supreme. His message
spurred crowds, incited riots, and garnered a monstrous flock. Like moths to a
flame, people were drawn to his rich personality and commanding presence.
Ultimately, Mr. Trump’s swagger defeated his Democratic opponent, Hillary
Clinton. She lacked trustworthy charisma, and she crumbled under her own
scandals. As she and her husband, Bill Clinton, retired their bully pulpit,
Trump took the stage. As he promoted populism, his covert plans suggested
otherwise.
Lionized (or criticized)
economist, Paul Krugman, detailed his thoughts about America’s upcoming
administration. He commented on chameleon Paul Ryan, and his party’s problem.
Krugman wrote, “Republicans like Paul Ryan…liked to
warn…about the dangers of budget deficits…now, suddenly, those very same
politicians are perfectly happy with the prospect of deficits swollen by tax
cuts; the budget resolution they’re considering would, according to their own
estimates, add $9 trillion in debt over the next decade.” The wealthy would
receive substantial tax breaks, and the working class would shoulder the
country’s financial burden (again). Unfortunately, in the past, “trickle-down”
economics never flourished. However, Mr. Trump might just surprise his critics.
If he can nab the White House, he can accomplish anything.
