Trump's 5 Bets in US Congress Speech

Prashant Jha letters@hindustantimes.com WASHINGTON: How these play out in the next year is the big question.

Trump's first bet is that he can dramatically downsize the US State and its regulatory apparatus, scale back its services, and reduce its international footprint. His support for the Department of Government Efficiency, praise for Elon Musk and recital of what Trump considered instances of waste, abuse and fraud on Tuesday shows that this remaking of the American State will continue. This stems from an ideological conviction against big government, an economic calculus that this can help reduce the deficit, strategic logic that the US hasn't gained from its commitments abroad, and a worldview that the US needs a far more focused set of interests. That much is now known.
