First Month of Trump The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Ep 76: It’s exactly one month into the world of President-elect Donald Trump. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel assesses the first month of policies, statements, and cabinet picks and tries to glean a sense of direction from the nascent administration. There appears to be a lot of promise as it relates to military, national security, terrorism, and immigration. On the other hand, there are challenges ahead for fiscal conservatism, with the notable exception of regulatory reform. The task for conservatives is to come forward with an aggressive positive agenda that speaks to the strengths of Trump and channels some of the misdirection into good constitutional policies. As it relates to the bad economic policies, conservatives will have to stop him from doing further damage. The key is to focus Trump on national security and the border and distract him from his other big government ideas. Take a page out by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz
