EDITOR’S NOTE |
Trump should declare war (on domestic issues) |
Yesterday, we received an email from Upward News reader Christie W., who said: "I wish President Trump would focus on grocery and gas prices crushing Americans right now, rather than the beehives at the White House. That is pretty frustrating.” |
I completely agree with Christie (though I support the beehives!). |
It’s understandable why Trump is focused on big things — a war with Iran, bombing narco-terrorists in the Pacific, regime-change in Venezuela — because he wants a big legacy, and second terms are where legacies are secured. Obama with the Iran deal, W. Bush with the War on Terror, Reagan defeating the Soviet Union. |
While there are certainly gains to be made with Trump’s foreign policy agenda, the focus on domestic priorities is severely lacking. Here’s what the president’s critics are hitting him for: grocery and gas prices are still too high. Homes are still unaffordable. The healthcare system is still an overly bureaucratic, broken mess. |
An executive order or two isn’t going to cut it to make long-term, structural change. And because the GOP likely has only until the end of the year with full control of the government, the president needs to lead on major domestic issues to win back Americans he has lost. |
Right now, Republicans are not delivering on much. If they can’t even tackle kitchen table issues, voters may end up choosing a party that will. |
