“President-elect Donald Trump has a fundamental choice to make. He can make good on a number of the agenda items on which he ran and/or which his supporters advanced. He could, for example, enact draconian, across-the-board tariffs; begin massive roundups and deportations of law-abiding ‘dreamers;’ repeal the Affordable Act and major bipartisan legislation passed under President Joe Biden; and enact a new round of massive tax cuts for big corporations and wealthy individuals. These steps no doubt would satisfy big donors, right-wing ideologues and his radical vice president. However, in doing so, he would likely make himself extremely unpopular, induce economic and social chaos and create political problems for his party in the 2026 midterms.” (11/11/24)
