It’s taken for granted in commentary about the president’s first three weeks in office that, at some point, he’ll “overreach.”
I’m sure I’ve made that claim myself elsewhere. It’s the nature of modern politics: New presidents sweep into office, misread their mandate (assuming any such thing exists), and alienate their soft supporters. The backlash will come. It always does.
What would a backlash look like in Donald Trump’s case, though?
