Donald Trump’s Strong Start

President-elect Donald Trump is off to a strong start with fewer obstacles compared to his 2016 election. While there are potential pitfalls, such as controversial cabinet picks and a narrow Republican majority in the House, the reaction to his victory has been more muted this time around. Unlike in 2016, there were no protests after he won and no cloud of illegitimacy over his victory. Trump, who is now mainstream in American politics, has the wind at his back with a 59% approval rating for his transition. With legal issues clearing and a lack of illegitimacy over his victory, Trump is poised for success in the crucial first two years of his presidency. Despite the potential for challenges, the conditions now favor Trump in a way they did not eight years ago. Trump’s mainstream presence in American culture and politics, as well as his initial success in his second term transition, set a positive tone for his upcoming presidency.
