“Say what you will about incoming President Trump, but some bothersome facts are self-evident. He is an old man stuck in old thinking at a time when the world is changing with unprecedented speed. Many changes won’t wait another four years until voters have another chance to elect a modern president. The liabilities of old age were evident in President Biden as the 2024 election approached. Many voters considered it a reason to choose Trump. However, Trump has his own problems with age, including 20th-century views incompatible with 21st-century realities. … Trump’s appointments seem to equate wealth in business with competence in government. He is assembling the wealthiest Cabinet in presidential history, so far appointing 13 billionaires and an undetermined number of multi-millionaires to top jobs in his administration. Trump might argue that wealth is proof of talent, but success in capitalism is different than success in governance.” (12/30/24)
