The convention is scheduled for the middle of July in Milwaukee. It will, of course, be dominated by Trump, who will spend most of his time and energy trying to persuade us that America under Biden is a hellhole run by woke women and minorities that has been invaded by illegal immigrants. He will also talk at length about the rigged 2020 election, his ongoing legal martyrdom, and his fears for 2024. But what will he say about his agenda for the future? Will he give us a realistic plan to fight inflation? Will he say much about what happens next in Gaza? Will he make the case for tariffs? Will he reveal his secret plan to end the war in Ukraine? Will he say more about federal regulation of abortion? Will he cut taxes for rich people again? And so on.
My guess is that the answer to all of those questions is no. Trump has a vision of America, but no plausible plan to get us there. Whatever plans he does have would be very unpopular. It is in his interests to say as little about them as possible.
