I’ve never understood the basic premise here.
There seems to be a long-standing expectation — “Okay, you were elected president. Congratulations. Now you are allowed to do one thing. One thing only. You have a small amount of political capital — what one thing would you like to spend it on?”
Just seems odd to me. Trump won handily. He has momentum. People expect a wall. So — build a wall. People will see that he meant what he said. BOOM! His political capital just increased. Trump said he would juice the economy. So — cut taxes and regulations. BOOM! The economy takes off like a rocket, and Trump has more political capital than ever before.
This could go on for 8 years.
Except there is no need for those things to happen serially they certainly can happen in parallel.
