The Trump Counterrevolution and the Moral Ledger

Donald Trump's counterrevolution is moving forward steadily, despite opposition and economic challenges. This summary discusses Trump's approach to issues like immigration, government debts, education, and trade while highlighting the failures of the opposition.

1. Ongoing Counterrevolution:

• Trump's counterrevolution continues despite media criticism.

• The economy's state by the November 2026 midterm elections will significantly impact Trump's success.

2. Immigration and Security:

• Trump aims to restore border security, address illegal immigration, and focus on legal immigration.

• Previous administrations made it easy for illegal immigrants to enter the country, but Trump seeks to reverse these policies.

3. Economic Health:

• Acknowledgment of unsustainable national debts, including a $2 trillion budget deficit and a $37 trillion national debt.

• Trump is committed to cuts in federal spending and private sector job growth, maintaining moral leadership.

4. Challenges in Higher Education:

• Elite universities face scrutiny for surreptitiously maintaining race-based preferences and profiting from federal loans.

• Concerns include rising tuition and lack of ideological diversity in educational institutions.

• Public demand for reform in higher education could arise unless the universities change their practices.

5. Trade Issues:

• The economy's strength is linked to resolving trade deficits with several nations including China and the EU.

• Trump's administration focuses on fairness and accountability in trade relationships, rejecting the notion of high tariffs as revenue sources.

6. Democratic Opposition:

• The Democratic Party lacks a cohesive alternative to Trump's policies.

• Instead of proposing new ideas, they respond with chaos and disruptive behavior, which reflects their inability to counter Trump's agenda effectively.

Trump's counterrevolution appears to be gaining momentum as he tackles major issues like immigration, budget cuts, education reform, and trade. The opposition seems fragmented and reactive, illustrating their struggle to provide substantial alternatives to Trump's administration. The outcome will depend on the economy's health and the public's response to ongoing reforms.
