Wall Street Journal (January 22)
“Every incoming presidential administration is tempted to overread the electorate’s support for its agenda. Judging by the tone and content of President Trump’s Second Inaugural Address, his administration will be no exception.” He has already misread popular support “in his Inauguration Day executive actions.” If this continues, “he’s in for a rude awakening. The people who put him over the top on Nov. 5 weren’t members of his fervent MAGA base.”

Donald Trump has not even got to the White House, and his raucous court of advisers have rounded on each other.” This marks only the beginning of “a clash of cultures” as tech invades Washington. Tech’s “worldview is strikingly at odds with the maga movement.” Yet, it is possible that “out of Trumpian chaos and contradiction, something good might just emerge.“
