Buckle-up, buttercup
Greetings from Atlanta.
What a fascinating week. Welcome to the future! The Trump presidency kicked off with the promise of big change. The majority of Americans (+60%) are positive about the next four years. Even those who didn't vote for Trump are optimistic.
Why?
1. When the Democrats even lose the Village People, then you know Pres Trump has a bunch of political capital. (Go watch Trump dancing to YMCA this past weekend.) In addition to his base, moderates, centrists and minorities gave Trump the White House. They're willing to give him the chance to modernize government.
2. Young people want to embrace AI and crypto. They're excited that Elon Musk and company are going all Founder Mode on D.C. After I recorded my riff, Trump announced a $500 billion AI plan called Stargate.
3. Identity politics has alienated the very people it was supposed to protect. Common sense is/back.
4. Energy security and immigration reform are bipartisan touch points. The differences come in the methods used to secure both.
This week we're on YOUTUBE with my thoughts about why you should view this Trump Presidency with an open mind (for now.)
Best,
Robyn
