A Trump critic on his worst fears -- and a way forward 2r1v6c

In the weeks preceding President Trump’s address to a t session of Congress Tuesday night, the istration was busy – taking an axe to federal agencies, imposing tariffs on neighboring countries, and reversing course on U.S. for Ukraine. But we heard little about these issues from the president in this speech.  What the president did do was tick off a list of accomplishments, including money saved through contracts cancelled and fraud exposed – many of these examples exaggerated or simply untrue.  Norman Ornstein is a political scientist and co-author of several books on our politics, including the 2012 New York Times bestseller It’s Even Worse Than It Looks. He says that many Trump voters couldn’t see the ways that government impacted their lives. But, he adds, “If Trump succeeds as he’s already doing in disrupting so many of these areas, Americans are going to be jolted by what they missed.” Norman Ornstein s Diane on today’s episode of On My Mind to offer his take on what he sees coming and the Democrats’ response.  3k3y38
