American Greatness Depends on Strong Families
January 29, 2025
President Trump signaled his commitment to making America “greater, stronger and far more exceptional than ever before” in his important Inaugural Address last week. Crucially, Trump made a personal commitment to fight for parents and their dreams for their children. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance declared at last week’s March for Life it was “the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids,” recognizing national success not in terms of GDP but in “whether people feel that they can raise thriving and healthy families in our country.” Both of them are right.
For the Trump-Vance administration to make America greater than ever before, they will need to focus on this priority: the American family. There is an important political imperative for the administration to do so: parents and married Americans voted for the Trump-Vance ticket in greater numbers than their fellow citizens who aren’t married and don’t have children. But more importantly, nothing is more vital to reviving the fortunes of American civilization than strengthening the American family.
