Notes -
I didn’t vote but probably leaned his direction. Mainly for immigration control, tax relief, and what I thought were some interesting foreign policy plays (Greenland, Panama Canal).
He definitely is doing worse than I had anticipated. The cuts to medical research in particular are absolutely galling. Who gives a shit if there is some administrative bloat in world-leading cancer research that has undeniable economic benefits? It’s all a drop in the bucket compared to entitlement programs, which he is not touching at all.
In general he is continuing to perpetrate this unbearable gerontocracy where old people hoard the wealth and kneecap younger generations through incredible housing prices, NIMBY, and parasitism from social security and Medicare.
