Donald Trump’s mouth and his personal recklessness worry even his staunchest supporters. Will Trump’s intrinsic and immutable flaws, as Victor Davis Hanson puts it, inevitably lead to overweening arrogance and thus catastrophe? “Perhaps,” writes Mr. Hanson at NRO. “But it’s far more likely that Trump’s fate will hinge on his economic reforms.” One reason that […]

Trump’s Astonishing Speech is a Promise to Empower All People
There were no big surprises. Donald Trump delivered exactly the content he had been delivering on the campaign trail for months. President Trump, a Republican in name only, will govern as a populist president. Trump is all about you. It’s no longer about the major parties. In his inauguration speech, the president said he planned […]
Drain the Swamp: Part IV
Here are three things that I’ve been thinking about over the weekend after Donald Trump’s inauguration speech. 1) It was hard to miss President George W.

Here Tucker Carlson, who I have enjoyed spending some time with at events hosted by the Cato Institute, explains President Donald Trump’s massive departure from the positions of both the Republican and Democrat parties.

Donald Trump’s Full Inaugural Address
Drain the Swamp: Part III
“Idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, human misery, and personal indignity. Those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity,” said Ronald Reagan in his Inaugural Address January 20, 1981. It was the last inauguration my […]
Frightened Americans Sick and Tired of Obama’s Fake News
According to Betsy McCaughey, a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research and a former lieutenant governor of New York, President Obama’s warning to Congress that junking the Affordable Care Act will put “133 million Americans with pre-existing conditions” in jeopardy is phony. According to Ms. McCaughey in the WSJ, “The actual number […]
Americans Want the Security of Jobs and Peace
Bring back America’s lost jobs and keep America out of new wars is Donald Trump’s promised mission. Pat Buchanan lays out the hopeful Trump master plan. The old order is passing away. Treaties and alliances dating from the Cold War are ceasing to be relevant and cannot long be sustained. Economic patriotism and ethnonationalism, personified […]
