“This will truly be the golden age of America.” T


hat was the pro- phetic vision served up by newly re- elected President Donald J. Trump on election night, after


a stunning victory hailed as per- haps the greatest political come- back of all time. And lest anyone overlook


Trump’s bold pledge to bring long-term security and prosper- ity to America, he reiterated it a week later at Mar-a-Lago by re- calling the Roaring ’20s. “You know,” Trump remi-
