Competence Over Chaos
Sunday’s 60 Minutes interview with President Trump was footnoted by an interesting observation. As Norah O’Donnell wrapped up her 90-minute sit-down, she asked the president—now nearly a year into his new term—what he hoped to accomplish over the next three years. His answer was simple and revealing: “More of the same.”
That’s not a shrug. It’s confidence.
After arguably the most productive nine months of governance in American history, Trump doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel. The economy is roaring back, border crossings have plummeted, manufacturing jobs are returning, and foreign adversaries are—for the first time in years—thinking twice before testing America’s resolve. When pressed on whether he’s considered a third term, he said, “I’ve been too busy to think about that.” You almost believe him. He’s been too busy doing the job.
