I wholeheartedly agree. You can’t have a functioning society if large portions of the population aren’t realizing the gains from a growing economy. I’m just very skeptical that Trump has anything to offer those people except the rhetorical pat on the back and cultural red meat.

Trump will no doubt push to extend the tax cuts from his first term (the debt be damned) - those benefits went overwhelmingly to those most well off. There is reporting now that Republicans are looking to offset the tax cuts’ high cost in part by restructuring Medicaid and limiting options for SNAP recipients - it’s the same old party agenda of tax cuts for the rich, exploding deficits and debt and then demands to offset the cost on the back of those most in need. Except now it’s Trump doing it, not Bush.
Color me skeptical that this party will really deliver any meaningful improvement to the lives of working people. I hope I’m wrong. We’ll find out soon. Or maybe rhetoric and culture wars is all they need to keep those newly minted republican voters. That too will be telling.
Agree Trump is all over the place and yet to be seen. I am a JD Vance guy and believe me, he’s serious about improving the lives of the working class. What he can’t get done as VP, he can as President.
He’s a smart guy and I hope he’s honest about his views. I wouldn’t want him as president but I’m not too worried — the track record of VPs getting elected president immediately afterwards is not great.
