Biden gave Americans the business. Trump is giving us businessmen

You can learn very interesting things about Trump by looking at his predecessors. Like some of them, he's savvy enough to turn to businessmen to get America back on track.
McKinley even appointed a commission to explore building a canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. During the recent transition and after taking his oath of office, Trump brought trans-American canals back into vogue, with statements about revisiting the Panama Canal Treaties. Jared Cohen is author of the New York Times Bestselling book "Life After Power: Seven Presidents and Their Search for Purpose Beyond the White House," now available in paperback, and "Speaking of America: United States Presidents and the Words the Changed History."
It’s an easy comparison to make. Beyond the shared interruption to their tenures in the White House, both Trump and Cleveland are New Yorkers. Both took on their parties’ establishments and won, building new political coalitions in the process. In their time, both of their parties disputed election results, the Democrats in 1876 and the Republicans in 2020. Neither man ever won the majority of the popular vote, though Trump won the plurality in 2024.
