像Alexis de Tocqueville大约200年前一样，我相信，当人们以开明的重视自我行动而不断促使他们互相协助时，美国社会就会蓬勃发展。我仍然乐观，我们的国家可以围绕各行各业的人们统一政策，从而促进各行各业的人们相互利益。
As President Trump nears 100 days in office, we are moving closer to that ideal in some respects, but not in others. But no president can — or should — be expected to solve every problem alone. To be successful, leaders in any field must listen to everyone, even those with whom they disagree.
从好的方面来说，总统采取了深思熟虑的监管改革方法。他任命了一支强大的团队，能够采取最佳想法，以消除不必要的法规，以破坏最需要他们的人的创新，竞争和机会。我还为总统选择最高法院的尼尔·戈尔苏奇（Neil Gorsuch）选择。凭借优先考虑宪法而不是政治游戏技巧的职业，新的正义将是适当应用宪法的批判性声音。
At the same time, I view some actions of this administration as counterproductive. These include broad travel bans, discouraging free trade and a tendency toward rhetoric that too easily divides Americans instead of uniting them.
But rather than spending too much time looking back — even if only for 100 days — we need to look forward. The president and lawmakers have an excellent opportunity to take bold steps here and now to reverse the United States’ trajectory toward a two-tiered system: one that benefits the wealthy and well-connected (including big businesses such as Koch Industries) at the expense of everyone else.
In addressing the United States’ challenges, I encourage the president to evaluate every policy on its potential to help people improve their lives. No piece of legislation will ever be perfect, and allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good only further accentuates our country’s divisions. Good policy moves us closer to this ideal, even if by small steps.
考虑到这一原则，我认为这是一些政策变化，目前，这位总统对改善所有美国人的幸福感和机会至关重要，并且是真正实现的：
综合税制改革早就应该了。美国人应该得到很多好处。总统新提供的计划降低利率并简化代码是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。我也没有提高国会提高美国人每天依赖的商品价格来增加工业公司（例如科赫）的工业公司的利润，这也使我感到鼓舞。
相反，本届政府应通过鼓励国会控制浪费的支出并减少企业福利规定，以牺牲家庭为代价，从而为减税造成削减余地。一项税法倡导大街对于经济增长和创新至关重要。在这些问题上，总统的领导能力很好。
The health-care debate has been a mess, but I’m hopeful the president can get it on track. Let’s start by laying the foundation for innovation; this will reduce costs and improve quality for everyone. This can’t happen without new legislation, but there are actions the administration can take in the meantime, such as reforming the Food and Drug Administration and granting discretion to states to innovate within the constructs of Obamacare and Medicaid. While not perfect, such actions can move us closer to a system where all individuals can choose the affordable care that is best for them.
作为候选人，总统热情地谈到了降低犯罪率并提高安全性的必要性，尤其是在城市地区。我同意。当刑事判决正义并适合犯罪时，当那些犯下非暴力犯罪的人从错误中学习并获得第二次机会时，我们都会受益。取而代之的是，我们今天所拥有的是过度监禁的流行病，可以培养不信任并增加警察与他们所服务的社区之间的暴力行为。总统可以通过与准备改革我们的刑事司法系统的立法者合作来打破这一周期。
在所有问题上，我都看不到总统（或任何人）的目光；但是，与所有政府一样，我准备帮助他做正确的事，无论我在哪里。
I believe President Trump has a tremendous opportunity to pave the way — in the next 100 days and beyond — for long-term economic success and greater prosperity for all. I wish him the best and look forward to collaborating with him and anyone — regardless of political party or ideology — who is passionate about advancing a free, open and flourishing society.
