Sunday afternoon, the Trump campaign put out a press release containing bullet points of the second-term agenda he’ll run on. It feels like it’s late in the game for him to do that, perhaps, but on the other hand this week is the opening of the Republican convention — so sure, the timing for the agenda makes sense.
It’s been said repeatedly that Trump can’t just wait around for Joe Biden to implode — though the chances aren’t terrible that Biden will do just that, given his 100 percent propensity to vaporize as a presidential candidate in the past and his current suspect capacity with respect to what’s inside his cranium. Trump needs something to run on beyond funny tweets and the fact he’s neither Antifa nor Bill DeBlasio. Americans don’t want to vote for the Hard Left despite what the legacy media might have you believe, and it’s pretty clear they don’t really want to vote for Biden either. But given that Biden’s entire pitch is that he isn’t Trump — the Democrats’ agenda is so out of touch with the American people they’re denying a lot of it even exists, as evidenced by their constant insistence that “redirecting” funds from police is not the same as “defunding” the police — having something people would like to see happen in the next four years is the best way for Trump to win over voters who aren’t as amused as the rest of us are by his style.
The agenda is entitled “Fighting for You!”
