... What if he didn't really change"what if the bureaucrats changed him? That's the puzzle piece America and the Trump administration are examining right now. Biden's hard turn left after taking office arrived without an external shock. Which invites a different reading, one that might sound cynical in any other era.

That's why the country is celebrating Michael and Susan Dell dropping $6.25 billion into "Trump Accounts." Twenty-five million kids will get $250 each in a special savings account that they can't touch for almost two decades. It sounds like generosity. It plays like hope. It sells like opportunity.
