FYI: The overbearing persona of President Trump dominated 2017. From his angry early morning tweets to the stain of corruption bleeding into his administration to the sharp rightward tilt in his governing philosophy, Mr. Trump in his first year in office could not stand in starker contrast to his predecessor, Barack Obama. Meanwhile, strong economic performance in 2017 — a legacy for which Mr. Trump should thank Mr. Obama — masked the reality that the new president failed to propose or carry out any significant policies that would help the white working-class Americans who helped elect him.
Happy New Year,
Ted
